From color theory to design, scale, and sensory immersion, Las Vegas is a distinctive case  study in how design shapes thought and behavior. Join Sean Adams for How Design Makes  Us Think: Las Vegas, a lecture exploring how architecture, interiors, graphics, lighting, and  color do more than create visual appeal. They produce emotional, intellectual, and visceral  responses that influence how people see, feel, move, and act. Through visual examples, this  session examines how designers use aesthetic cues to direct attention, create desire, build  memory, and transform ordinary environments into persuasive experiences.
