Lang, Jon T.

Creating architectural theory : the role of the behavioral sciences in environmental design / Jon Lang.

New York : Van Nostrand Reinhold Co., ©1987.

ix, 278 pages : illustrations, plans ; 28 cm

This book unites established design principles with the specific findings of behavioural sciences. Such combined knowledge enables the designer to realize a built environment that is efficient, beautiful and humane. The core of the book deals with positive theory - explicit data on how designers work and how their work affects people's lives. Also considered are the values of different schools of architecture and whether those values meet society's needs.
