Designing for People, Not for Man: The Recurring Role of Social Science in Architectural Discourse and Practice

Annual Meeting Proceedings

Author(s): Julia Grinkrug & Hans Sagan

This paper focuses on the recurring role of social science in architectural discourse, education, and practice, offering a review of how architectural theory has cyclically sought out other ways of approaching issues of space, place, and being, and has, in the process, transformed and strengthened the field. The paper suggests that, perhaps, we are entering a new outreach phase, wherein the discipline is again looking beyond its boundaries to find useful ways of thinking and engaging with the real world.
