Environmental Psychology for Design

English

By (author): Dak Kopec

How does a room affect an occupant's behavior 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 analyze the interaction between environments and human behavior 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. New to this Edition -Chapters have been reorganized to be more location-centric (ie: schools, long-term care facilities, etc) -Ethical Consideration and Pandemic Ponderings box features included for further discussion of timely topics STUDIO Features Include -Study smarter with self-quizzes featuring scored results and personalized study tips -Review concepts with flashcards of terms and definitions Instructor Resources -Instructors Guide to help integrate the text into your classroom -PowerPoint Slides for every chapter See more
