This dissertation analyzes the spatial and environmental production of theme parks through the paradigmatic example of Disneyland. The space studied in this theme park and the architecture for fun is no longer measurable only through objective and concrete parameters, since the sensations and the production of atmospheres that incur in the immersion of the visitor begin to be important objectives for recreational purposes. and commercial park. The production of exterior and interior atmospheres through the architecture of objects that ‘come out of themselves’ plays a fundamental role in its design. The thesis tries to link the already existing urban and sociological theory on theme parks with an added vision on the influence of the production of effects through architecture.
