The Evolution of Design

I was sitting at the waiting room at the hospital of Stanford University, I noticed the bright open space hall way. The interior design of the hospital mostly depend on natural daylight; thus create an illusion of bigger space area. This does not mean the design lacks of electrical light, but the light have the same soft shade as the natural light; thus to minimum the constracsion and give out a friendly, soft vibe in the hallway interior.
 This remind me of the first construction of hallway by Minoan civilization from Crete. The Minoan’s special room called megaron room which designed to serve rich upper classmen. The room was constructed with surrounded corridors which was the first example of hallway and corridors. In ancient world, our ancestors already know a way to luxurious live. They led a luxurious life where human comfort were put before human basic needs. This idea became a motivation that triggerred the construction of many famous, breathtaking design in history.
