A wise architect’s guide for re-energizing architectural design thinking, capturing and applying discoveries from the human sciences and insights from non-architects, to transform architectural design, practice, and education. People-Centered Architecture: Design Practice and Education is a unique exploration of concrete ways a deeper understanding of people helps and encourages architects to better serve everyone who use what they design. In this one-of-a-kind volume, veteran architect and educator Milton Shinberg presents game-changing approaches for enhancing and re-orienting architecture. With a clear and accessible narrative style, Shinberg draws from decades of dialogue with architects, designers, clients, artists, scientists, teachers, and his students, to provide concepts and strategies for making design more robust and more resonant for clients and users, and much more rewarding for the design team. Shinberg’s provocative ideas help architects, who are humanists, know much more about humans.
