This research explores the development of a sketch-based journaling platform aimed at enhancing students' mental well-being and decision-making abilities. Building on existing theories of cognitive and emotional benefits from creative expression, the study investigates whether sketching daily routines and reflections can serve as effective tools for mental health improvement and decision-making. Through a series of experiments involving undergraduate students, the study demonstrates that sketch-based journaling significantly improves mental well-being and aids in decision-making processes. This paper provides practical insights for educational institutions and mental health professionals seeking innovative approaches to student support.

This research paper explores how vivid colors and unique geometric shapes in architectural design can enhance users' spatial memory and navigational abilities. Building on existing theories of spatial cognition, this study investigates whether these design elements serve as effective memory anchors. Through a series of experiments involving undergraduate architecture students, the study demonstrates that vivid colors and distinctive geometries significantly improve the memorability of architectural features. This paper provides practical insights for architects aiming to create more navigable and memorable spaces, particularly in complex environments like hospitals and public buildings.

The quality-time-money trilemma, also known as the Iron Triangle, is a fundamental concept in project management and career planning that emphasizes the trade-offs between quality, time, and cost. This article explores how this trilemma manifests in architectural projects and career decisions, providing real-world examples and strategies for effective management. By understanding the interplay between these three factors, individuals and professionals can make informed decisions, set realistic expectations, and achieve successful outcomes. Key insights include the necessity of prioritizing two aspects at the expense of the third, the importance of communication and flexibility, and the application of this principle across various scenarios in architecture and career development.
