ABSTRACT
Our happiness, like most emotions, can be both subjective and quick to change. As such, designing for happiness will mean different things to different people. It is also important to note that for many clients, supporting their building users’ mental wellbeing may not necessarily be a primary motivator. In such cases, however, there is always an argument to be made that these concepts add financial value to a project, for example through more productive office workers or tenants who will lodge fewer complaints in an apartment building. It is part of the role of designers to convince clients that these features are worth integrating.
