Inquiry by design : environment/behavior/neuroscience in architecture, interiors, landscape, and planning / John Zeisel ; foreword by John P. Eberhard. - Rev. ed. - New York : W.W. Norton & Company, c2006. - 400 p. : ill., maps ; 24 cm.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 385-392) and index.
Design : images, presentations, and tests -- Research : concepts, hypotheses, and tests -- Research and design cooperation -- Side effects of cooperation -- Research methodology : approaches, designs, and settings -- Research quality -- The brain's environment system -- Observing physical traces -- Observing environmental behavior -- Focused interviews -- Standardized questionnaires -- Asking questions : topics and format -- Archives -- Environment/behavior/neuroscience.
This update of a classic text folds the new field of neuroscience for design into well-established environment-behavior (E-B) methods and approaches.
Illustrated evidence-based building and open space case studies demonstrate E-B’s continuing design impact. Fundamental theory and practical research methods are presented for planning, programming, designing, and evaluating the effects of physical environments in use. Part I describes how designers and researchers employ a similar creative process that promotes collaboration and yields greater design creativity and research effectiveness. Part II focuses on research methods to understand how buildings and spaces work: observing behavior and the physical environment, asking questions in interviews and surveys, and employing archival records that include data and physical plans. 50 illustrations
