Ideal for students, professionals, and anyone interested in the intersection of human behaviour and architectural design.

In this expanded second edition of Cognitive Architecture, the authors review new findings in psychology and neuroscience to help architects and planners better understand their clients as the sophisticated mammals they are, arriving in the world with built-in responses to the environment.

Description

Discussing key biometric tools to help designers 'see' subliminal human behaviours and suggesting new ways to analyse designs before they are built, this new edition brings readers up-to-date on scientific tools relevant for assessing architecture and the human experience of the built environment.

The new edition includes:

Over 100 full colour photographs and drawings to illustrate key concepts.
A new chapter on using biometrics to understand the human experience of place.
A conclusion describing how the book’s propositions reframe the history of modern architecture.

A compelling read for students, professionals, and the general public, Cognitive Architecture takes an inside-out approach to design, arguing that the more we understand human behaviour, the better we can design and plan for it.
