Connection points : the importance of aesthetic in quality of life

Abstract

This paper is ultimately about the importance of aesthetic in regards to quality of life. The world can be mentally and physically overwhelming at times, and it's important for people to 1) have the power to change their surroundings and quality of life, and 2) have a sanctuary where they can find a reprieve. Beauty for beauty's sake does have merit. As a designer, one has a responsibility to make space as comfortable as possible. For this project, I have translated this thinking into physical designs and implemented them in my own private living space. This paper details my thoughts on this matter, the processes and stages of project design, as well as the implementation of said designs into my living space.
