The session will explore some of the vast amounts of research undertaken by academic environmental psychologists and neuroscientists about the relationships between buildings and the wider population, and interpret it in a form that will be of use to practitioners. Issues that impede the making of optimum decisions will be related to the application of research findings - both those that are inherent in the structure of research and architecture, and those that are inherent in everyone, including architects. Exercises will be conducted to engage the attendees, and to work through methods that practitioners can use in their own designs.
Learning Objectives:
- Identify and interpret research-based evidence, in particular, how it can explain the way buildings are evaluated and esteemed (or not) by different population groups, as well as common trends;
- Recognize aspects of building design and how they relate to empirical evidence, so that they can avoid having significant segments of the population evaluating their buildings negatively;
- Identify their own personal design biases, be able to relate them to those of other population groups, and be better able to deal with them in the design process;
- Apply the implications of research findings in their products, and be able to use some simple approaches to reconcile visual design issues.
