The issue features authors Lyn Geboy and Amy Beth Keller, both of Kahler Slater Architects in Milwaukee. Geboy and Keller focus on the relationship between people and environmental design, using both quantitative and qualitative methods to reveal new information. This information, they state, can have creative benefits and/or "substantiate the effectiveness of design decisions as they relate to the human experience of the environment."
"Practice-based research projects are typically initiated by immediate design problems that can be resolved with input from research," the authors say. "It is crucial that the research question(s) be 'doable,' meaning it should be realistic to research the topic within the real-world constraints of time, money, expertise, access, and ethics."
