The conditions someone is in can affect the quality of work that they do. This project investigates whether there is a correlation between different amounts of natural light in a room and the attentiveness of a person in that room. We designed a Library to test for this correlation due to the number of different spaces a library can have. The design work covered the interior layout, structural design, and exterior site layout. The Personal Emotional Augmented Controlled Environment (PEACE) project also includes the design of a structural frame. With this knowledge, new considerations can be made when designing work and study spaces so that these spaces can help people work more efficiently.
