Thesis Statement: Free will is the ability to choose between dierent possible courses of action unimpeded. In order to have free will, three conditions have to be met. First, people have other options than the one they chose. Second, they must identify the sources of their actions, and third, the decision is not made randomly. To experience the action of free will is to experience a first cause. Therefore, the closest form of free will is exercised in the creative process. By creating

an object, a product, or a piece of art in an open-ended context without external references, people exercise free will. The question of how to experience the action of free will could be asked as the question of what conditions are required for genuine creativity. A designed environmental experience that engages visitors in the creative process can provide the condition that fosters the experience of free will.
