Inquiry by Design
Tools for Environment-Behaviour Research

A lively, non-technical explanation of how, to integrate research and design and how to carry out research on people and groups that is useful to designers. The book explains how to tailor sociological, psychological, and anthropological methods for the study of environment behaviour issues such as how to prevent tourists from getting lost in a city or how to build low income housing projects that will not be vandalised. Social scientists, designers, architects, and planners will appreciate this practical account of how and when, in programming, design reviews, and evaluation, to undertake environment behaviour research.
