Using psychology to develop spaces that enrich human experience Place design matters. Everyone perceives the world around them in a slightly different way, but there are fundamental laws that describe how people experience their physical environments. Place science principles can be applied in homes, schools, stores, restaurants, workplaces, healthcare facilities, and the other spaces people inhabit. This guide to person-centered place design shows architects, landscape architects, interior designers, and other interested individuals how to develop spaces that enrich human experience using concepts derived from rigorous qualitative and quantitative research. In Place Advantage: Applied Psychology for Interior Architecture, applied environmental psychologist Sally Augustin offers design practitioners accessible environmental psychological insights into how elements of the physical environment influence human attitudes and behaviors. She introduces the general principles of place science and shows how factors such as colors, scents, textures, and the spatial composition of a room, as well as personality and cultural identity, impact the experience of a place. These principles are applied to multiple building types, including residences, workplaces, healthcare facilities, schools, and retail spaces. Building a bridge between research and design practice, Place Advantage gives people designing and using spaces the evidence-based information and psychological insight to create environments that encourage people to work effectively, learn better, get healthy, and enjoy life.

The second edition of the ASID 2014 Joel Polsky Prize winning Human Factors in the Built Environment is a comprehensive and up-to-date resource that integrates the relationship of the human body and space planning to the design process for designers involved with the physical planning and detailing of interiors. Key topics include proxemics, anthropometrics, ergonomics, sensory components, diversity, global concerns, health and safety, environmental considerations, special populations and universal (inclusive) design. The text broadly covers space planning applications and the relationship of human factors to the design process for commercial and residential spaces from programming to post-occupancy evaluation. Nussbaumer addresses barrier-free design for new construction and retrofitting issues, and various contract design types such as offices, hospitality, and healthcare design. A global approach throughout includes U.S. imperial and metric systems of measurement.

"The growing interest in man and the environment he builds for himself has led many to look to psychology for answers to a wide range of architectural and planning problems. However, it is often difficult for environmental decision makers (e.g. architects, planners, interior designers) to understand the answers given by psychologists. This book provides an introduction to psychology to enable these decision makers to understand its relevance, basic concepts and methods and thus deal more effectively with specifically environmentally oriented studies. Its aim is thus to remove the mystification from psychology, to act as a link to more traditional psychological texts and to environmental psychology research. The author is a psychologist with many years of experience in the teaching of architects, the book having grown out of his lectures. The book does not assume any previous knowledge of psychology but argues that psychology has a broad relevance for architects and other environmental designers. Thus the environment has been taken to cover as wide a perspective as possible and there are chapters on spatial and visual aspects. There is also a chapter on organisational psychology as relevant both to the process of design (as the work of one organisation for another), and to understanding the actual housing of an organisation. Chapters on development, learning and individual differences also provide an introduction to the changes and differences in people's interactions with their environments. The fundamental assumptions and methods occurring in scientific psychology are dealt with in a chapter on research and another explains simply the use and measurement of underlying dimensions. A final chapter considers some aspects of design, such as windows and high-rise housing, from a psychological viewpoint." --
