Description

This book explores how we experience and understand buildings in different ways, depending on our academic and professional background. It uses Rem Koolhaas' Seattle Central Library as a case study to illustrate various research methods.

By applying these different approaches to the same building, researchers can gain insight into how tools highlight various aspects of a building and how they complement each other. This book brings together contributions from internationally renowned academics in fields such as architecture, ethnography, sociology, environmental psychology, and cognitive science.

It will be of interest to architects, students of architecture, and scholars in disciplines that apply research methods to the built environment, making it a valuable resource for anyone looking to understand buildings and their impact on society.
