Abstract
In this era of chaos, unemployment, inflation what should be the role of an architecture student? It is never too hard to bring light, color and play in the buildings we design but that is not the only thing we need to do. What we all need to do is to create something that brings attachment, bondage and emotions with the architecture. It should not just give employment but should be a new charming activity that would motivate, relax, encourage the youth to think beyond reality and come up with new creative ideas. Pakistan needs to create architectural attractions. The only thing we lack is the forum for recreational activities. It not only creates revenues but also gets fame if it is of an international standard. We living in Pakistan soul totally promote our culture. But we also need to bring new ideas regarding architecture to start working in a new direction on which the whole world is moving. Every country has theme parks for which they are famous. The culture of theme parks should also be promoted in Pakistan because we do not have a single proper theme park. The theme park industry around the world is growing day by day. So we need to step up and move in the league of finding fun in architecture as designers. This thesis explores the possibility of designing a Disneyland park, where people can relax and enjoy the themes, which is being evolved from mythical stories of Disney movies. Moving through an environment is a visual, spatial, sequential experience. Architectural determinism is a theory which claims that built environment is a theory which claims that the built environment is the chief determinant if social behavior. It says that design can control behavior, that architecture can limit and channel behavior in a predictable manner, supported by Adolf Behne when he asserted“you can kill a man with a building just as easily as with an axe
