This thesis is about how you can use shapes, proportions and compositions that humans fundamentally enjoy on a biological and evolutionary level. To create architectural elements that aid in creating an urban environment that humans enjoy being in and to live in.   The thesis is based around research by design and focuses on designing a residential building that is located in the central part of Malmö, Sweden. Furthermore theories such as Jan Gehl's theories on city planning are used to ensure a good connection between the private and public parts of the city. Moreover, other theories such as Dennis Dutton's theory on evolutionary beauty and the theories found in the book Cognitive Architecture lay a foundation for the design choices made all through the building.   To create an urban environment that people enjoy being in and that promotes people to spend their time in. The architecture needs to be designed in a way that reflects and encourages this behavior. Humans are visual creatures and need visual stimuli from their environment. The architecture needs to contain details and variation within its design to create environments that are visually interesting for us people.
