Rhetorical Analysis of Place

Other than being in my dorm, the place I spend the most time is probably the RPAC.  The architecture of the RPAC is very modern and when you are in there some areas feel almost futuristic, like the scarlet skywalk.  It is also very organized and new looking.  Many of the walls are windows, which makes it a very bright and uplifting atmosphere too.  The natural sunlight shines in almost all the rooms and there is even a patio where people can enjoy the atmosphere of the RPAC along with the nice weather and a view of the Horse Shoe.  The tone of the RPAC is very active and busy.  People are always walking around whether it is to workout or go to class or to eat.  There is a very upbeat mood when you enter.  The people working at the fringe desk are very friendly and help you with whatever you need.  You can also see people socializing in any part of the building.  People are mostly there for exercise, which is something that involves a lot of energy.  Along with that, since working out produces endorphins, people are in a better mood after working out.  Although people don't think about it, the RPAC has a lot of other functions.  There are rooms used for classes like the majority of buildings on campus, but since there are also food courts, it's used for a place to eat.   This creates a lot of different ways for people to interact with the space.  The machines and weights are there for the purpose of getting people and shape but the spaces around the RPAC can also be used as study spaces.
