- Summary:
- This book unites established design principles with the specific findings of behavioural sciences. Such combined knowledge enables the designer to realize a built environment that is efficient, beautiful and humane. The core of the book deals with positive theory - explicit data on how designers work and how their work affects people's lives. Also considered are the values of different schools of architecture and whether those values meet society's needs.
