Abstract

Happiness is not an end result, it is a concept that ascribes living and life. And architecture plays a relevant role in consummating happiness of any individual. Architecture is a developmental process that ultimately leads to the happiness of people. And both the elements are integral. The external environment encompasses what we are and who we are. In the current age of technology, the role played by architecture in consummating personal happiness is central. Architecture has a direct clout to the mind and mentality of an individual, which has been ascertained by several researchers. The setting and the internal and external atmosphere of any space can affect an individual, causing to positively or negatively shift their state of mental being. Architecture can be deemed as the creator of emotions that can alter the way one perceive and experience spaces.
