As the Hollywood Reporter article “David Rockwell, World-Renowned Architect. on Why He Also Designs Broadway Sets”Preview the document View in a new window suggests, architects and interior designers often share the same concerns as theater designers: creating a mood and telling a story.
For this Discussion, please visit an interior public space — a coffee shop, a restaurant, a department store, etc. — and take notes on its design. Look at the layout, the colors, the lighting, the clothes (costumes) worn by the employees, and listen to the sounds of the room. Then write a short essay detailing the space and what mood it creates, i.e., what is it trying to express, and how does it make (or want to make) you feel, and why?
Some things you might think about: Is the room bright or dark? Colorful or muted? Airy or crowded? Loud or quiet? Are surfaces hard or soft? Sharp or rounded? Rough or smooth? Do the employees all wear the same clothing? If not, is their clothing all similar in some way?
Three or four paragraphs should be sufficient, but you are welcome to write as much as you like. Please make sure your essay addresses the question fully, is grammatically correct, employs full sentences that express clear ideas and properly cite any sources you may have consulted, while avoiding text-messaging-style short cuts, slang and/or profanity.

example, on Venus, where heat and sunlight are more intense than on our planet, the climate situations are very encouraging and favorable to love affairs. The Venusians (named Céladons and Silvandres) are intelligent and lively but all are sterile, except a very little number of procreators and the Queen who is tremendously productive. Millions of offspring are descended from her and this fact is quite parallel to the bee kingdom on the Earth. The Marchioness seems very amazed! Fontenelle passes very little time on the case of Mars, a planet which seems to be very much alike to the Earth. According to him, Mars has nothing extraordinary and itâs not worth mentioning it. But, Jupiter, Saturn and their moons seem to be more interesting and are worthy of being habitable. The inhabitants of Saturn whose are very far from the Sun are very wise and phlegmatic. They never laugh and they require a whole day to answer the least question one asks them. What about far away in the universe? All the stars are so many su>
