Cognitive ArchitectureDesigning for How We Respond to the BuiltEnvironment
Ann Sussman and Justin B Hollander, Tufts University,Medford, Massachusetts, USA
In Cognitive Architecture, the authors review new findingsin psychology and neuroscience to help architects andplanners better understand their clients and their built-inresponses to the environment.The book takes an inside-out approach to design, arguingthat the more we understand human behavior, the betterwe can design for it. The text suggests new ways to analyzecurrent designs before they are built, allowing the designerto anticipate a user's future experience. More than onehundred photographs and drawings illustrate its keyconcepts, with exercises and case studies, to help readerslearn relevant scientific terms and suggest particular topicsfor further study.
