Design can influence behavior of people to some extent. The effect of Architecture on individuals is not quantifiable but can be felt in several instances. The strongest of all being monuments and places of worship.
Elements of Architecture are put together in such a way that they help convey a message, belief or feeling in such a powerful way that some of the effects can trigger change in personal lives of people. Similarly, design can help in promoting social stability based on a concept of tolerance through Architecture by means of a careful study and analysis of influential elements in different cultures that are then reinterpreted and reintroduced in our contemporary buildings to promote positivity and collaboration rather than division.
