Overview
What meanings do buildings and places convey to the people who use and visit them? Too often, design competitions and signature architecture result in costly eyesores that do not work. How can sponsors and clients get more meaningful results? In answer to these questions, Dr. Nasar, supported by studies of competitions and Peter Eisenman's competition-winning design for the Wexner Center at the Ohio State University, suggests the use of prejury evaluation (PJE). Dr. Nasar, demonstrates the potential value of this approach, as well as for visual quality programming, for many different kinds of environmental design. Architects, urban designers and planners, social scientists, clients, government officials, and residents will want to read this thought-provoking book.Book Details
