How do people react to the visual character of their surroundings? What can planners do to improve the aesthetic quality of these surroundings? Too often in environmental design, visual quality--aesthetics--is misunderstood as only a minor concern, dependent on volatile taste and thus undefinable. Yet a substantial body of research indicates the importance of visual quality in the environment to the public and has uncovered systematic patterns of human response to visual attributes of the built environment. Efforts to understand environmental aesthetics have been undertaken by investigators from such diverse fields as landscape architecture, environmental psychology, geography, philosophy, architecture, and city planning. As a result the relevant information is scattered and not readily available to professionals and policy makers. The book brings together classic and new contributions by distinguished workers in different disciplines. It explores theory and data on preferences in the visual environment, and also addresses the practical application of aesthetic criteria in design, planning and public policy. Promising directions for future research are identified.

The present book shows delightully how there has been a lot of research on the field of environmental psychology, having a strong relation with Industrial Design and Architecture. It consists of three parts, first the theory on the field, then there is the section on the practice of this field, which, in my opinion, is the best part, because it shows the different relevant experiments done in the past years which have made empirical evidence of the importance of our environment, and its influence on ourselves as human beings. It has some that are about lighting, some about street advertising, and some others about urban and rural landscapes. The following part of the book is more of a conclusion, but it still highlights important aspects of environmental psychology, in relation to architecture, and why it it worth studying it. The book is a perfect guide for those who are interested in feeling better in their own homes, and who want to change places in order to feel one way or another in them. I highly recommend this book.Product details
