Architectural Sociology

Sociology Books 2008

Sociological research on architecture and the architectural profession, its education and its impact on society.

Architectural sociology is the study of how designed physical environment influences and is influenced by society and human behavior. Sociological theories that focus on cultural patterns, social relationships, and social psychology are especially used to explain and interpret architectural design. Architectural sociologists apply their theories and research methods to all phases of the architectural design process from predesign to post-construction evaluation with the ultimate goal being that of humanizing designed physical environments. - Ron Smith and Valerie Bugni
