For me, having an architecture of happiness means to have a place that you can go that has the ability to change you mood in a positive form. It makes you happy to be there and can be quite relaxing. Having a place of happiness ties in to the rules of architecture because it is all about personal satisfaction. The agenda of it is no longer to just have religious meaning, although it may, but to have a more personal meaning. A happy space on campus to me is the EUC courtyard. More specifically, in that vast space, the place that stands out as particularly happy to me is the swing area. In that place people can relax, let loose, and just be a child again. It allows you to just let go of all of the stress that comes with college and adulthood and takes you back to the carefree days of childhood when there was nothing to worry about but when you what you were going to play that day.
