A practical guide to research for architects and
designersnow updated and expanded!
From searching for the best glass to prevent glare to
determining how clients might react to the color choice for
restaurant walls, research is a crucial tool that architects must

and behavioral issues that arise in their work.
This book's unique coverage of research methods is specifically
targeted to help professional designers and researchers better
conduct and understand research. Part I explores basic research
issues and concepts, and includes chapters on relating theory to
method and design to research. Part II gives a comprehensive
treatment of specific strategies for investigating built forms. In
all, the book covers seven types of research, including historical,
qualitative, correlational, experimental, simulation, logical
argumentation, and case studies and mixed methods.

for architecture students and researchers as well as architects,

manufacturers.
