Description
How does a room affect an occupant’s behaviour and well-being? How does a building influence its residents’ health? Environmental Psychology for Design, 4th Edition, explores these questions with an in-depth look at psychosocial responses to the built environment. Awarded the 2006 ASID Joel Polsky Prize, the first edition served as an introduction to the discipline of environmental psychology and inspired readers to embrace its key concepts and incorporate them into their practice.
This 4th edition continues to analyse the interaction between environments and human behaviour and well-being, while exploring how individual differences related to age, gender, and cultural background impact that interaction. More discussions on logic formation and argumentation and how these ideas pertain to biological, psychological, and sociological paradigms of thought have been incorporated. Additionally, chapters have been rearranged to allow for better content flow, and the emphasis will shift from person-specific chapters to be place-specific (i.e., schools for youth, long-term care facilities, and more). Ethical Consideration and Pandemic Ponderings box features are included throughout.
