People-Centered Architecture: Design Practice Education is a unique and probing exploration designed to help architects better serve everyone who uses what architects design. In this one-of-a-kind book, architect and educator Milton Shinberg presents game-changing approaches to enhance, reorient, and re-energize design thinking.
Shinberg draws from decades of dialogue with architects, designers, clients, artists, scientists, teachers, and his own students. His prompts and provocations, written in a clear and accessible narrative style, are organized to help architects, who are humanists, come to know much more about humans. Wise design becomes easier.
In one concise volume, People-Centered Architecture: Design Practice Education delivers a vibrant framework for architectural practice, for students and teachers of architecture, and for clients and stakeholders. Through this book, each will see their project partners more clearly, more empathetically, and in ways that foster richer, better brainstorming and more productive collaboration. The "coalition of the curious," people intrigued by architecture and architects, will get a peak behind the curtain.
