An essential introduction to applying research for busy
architects and designers The competitive design market
and the need to create enduring value place high demands on
architects and designers to expand their knowledge base to
be able to digest and utilize multiple sources of
information. Expected by their clients to be well versed on
all aspects of a project, time-constrained architects and
designers need quick responses in the face of daily
challenges. As a result, these professionals must—more than
ever—rely on, and apply, readily accessible information
culled from sound research to gain a competitive
advantage. The Designer's Guide to Doing Research
serves as an introductory guide on the general concepts and
processes that define "good" research. Organized logically
with the practical tools necessary to obtain research for
all facets of the designer's workflow, this book offers:
Material written in an accessible format
specifically for practitioners Reliable
content by experienced authors—a noted environmental
psychologist and an interior design educator who is also a
practitioner and writer Tools for planning,
executing, and utilizing research presented in an
easy-to-follow format along with case studies, sources, and
applications
Written for all practices and
people concerned with the built environment, from architects
and interior designers to facility managers, landscape
architects, and urban planners, this book serves as an
invaluable starting point for gathering and implementing
research effectively.
