设计的心理因素分析
如果撇开各种设计风格不谈，所有的设计都是供人类使用的。所有好设计的最终目标是使它所服务的人可以满意地居住使用。
伟大的设计必须满足人们的功能需求来提高生活条件，而且还要满足人们精神层面更高层次的需求，给人们逐渐灌输一种更抽象的关于美、认知感和精神层面的鉴赏能力。这种要求的延伸，导致建筑和设计理念不可避免地纠缠在一起。建筑不仅仅需要理解社会在基本层面的需求，而且还必须理解它的梦想、愿望和渴望，这正是我们之所以成为人而区别于地球上其它的生命的原因。
休闲设计理念将这种思想延伸得更深远，因为它恰恰是在发掘和满足这些更高层次需求的层面上，创造出合适的空间和生活体验。

The Psychology of Design
All design, regardless of the discipline, is for human consumption. The ultimate goal of all good design is the accommodation and satisfaction of the people it serves. Great design must not only meet the functional requirements to improve the human condition, but aspires to satisfy needs at a higher level in the human psyche. It seeks to instill an appreciation of more intangible concepts such as beauty, identity, and spirituality into all who interact with it. To this extent, architecture and philosophy are inextricably intertwined. The architect must not only understand society's needs at a basic level, but also its dreams, it desires, and its aspirations: the characteristics that make us unlike any other creature on the planet, the very essence that makes us human. Leisure design philosophy takes this idea further, in that its primary concern is in creating spaces and experiences to explore and to fulfill these higher-level aspirations.
