More copies of this ISBN:Inquiry by Design: Environment/Behavior/Neuroscience in Architecture, Interiors, Landscape, and Planning, Updated and Revised Editionby John Zeisel
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:An updated and revised version of a classic text in the field of environmental design.
"Inquiry by Design" lays out fundamental theoretical approaches to design and research as well as practical research methods applicable to planning, programming, and evaluating physical environments. It systematically describes basic methods of research and how to apply them and shows how collaboration between designers and researchers leads to greater design creativity. 50 illustrations. Book News Annotation:This update of the classic of the 1980s examines the relationship of
neuroscience for design into environmental-behavior (E-B) methods and
approaches. Practitioner and academic Zeisel examines a dozen case
studies to show how E-B was successful in creating buildings and
spaces through basic research, employment of E-B interventions in
design, programming, evidence-based design, post-occupancy evaluation
and improved designs. He describes the reasons for describing design,
the characteristics of designing, developing concepts of research,
formulating hypotheses, and conducting empirical testing, and the
processes of cooperation in research and design. He describes
approaches and settings in research methodology, controlling research
quality, and using the brain's environmental system. After this
introduction Zeisel describes research methods such as observing
physical traces and environmental behavior, conducting focused
interviews and standardized questionnaires, asking questions,
compiling archives, and relating the work to E-B concepts.

Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com) Synopsis: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. Synopsis: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.
