As a part of mass media, what kind of carrying task should media architecture undertake in healthy daily life? Under the guidance of phenomenological research methodology, this paper carries out questionnaire survey and related research among students majoring in Architectural Science (Bsc) in the School of architecture, computing and engineering of University of Wales Trinity Saint David.In Swansea, the city where the university is located, Avena theater opened in March 2022: "...
