<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>Through contributed examples of studies that interior design students, instructors, and practitioners conducted to solve design problems, this book highlights the importance of designing by evidence rather than mere taste or opinion.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><i>Informing Design</i> suggests a pedagogy in which design decision making is informed by more than speculative hunches, preferences, and intuition. In this collection of contributed chapters, leaders in both design practice and education share their expertise in such specialty areas as corporate, retail, and learning environments; healthcare; and hospitality. Introductory chapters teach students to distinguish among information gathering, programming, and research; apply the findings of others; and conduct their own investigations. Other chapters illustrate how informed design decisions were applied to various building types.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p>Joan I. Dickinson is based at Radford College, US.<br>John P. Marsden is based at Mount Mercy College, US.</p>
