Review # 2 was written on 2019-01-05 00:00:00 Steve Jorgensen If we talk about the applicability of this book, I would say this acts as a guide or rather a starting point for students , architects and planners as sometimes through our course of design we focus too much on the place we are trying to build that we forget the space it will create for the occupants and the way it will communicate to them after it is built. Although the aspects which are talked about in this book are really on a micro level and often while designing a small space we tend to neglect human behaviour as we feel that we are already designing for the users which will in turn set up a healthy relationship of them which the space and so we follow the idea of either form follows the function or function follows the form but either way we forget about human psychology in that form or function . Personally, as a design student currently perusing my 4th year, the way I have seen the process of design it is sometimes based on a form, its transformation into something complex or rather I would say its deconstruction into a complex form and then we try to incorporate the functions within rarely thinking about how the users will feel in those space and form of the space. We design long ambulatories in between a zig-zag space which we call it a fluid space and create multiple levels totally forgetting about the user experience in it. We always think it would be a journey from on space to another but that is how we as designers perceive the space and not a user can understand it for him it might be a really tiring experience altogether!
