Findings of a field study in which subjects drank more often from a screened water fountain than from one without such barriers. Generally confirmed the hypothesis that the presence of architectural constructs which reduce the impact of one individual on another will moderate reaction to invasion of personal space. (DT)

Studio teaching takes place in a tradition-rich, complex setting where teachers fill myriad roles with diverse students. In this paper, which was drawn from a larger research program, illustrative findings about three aspects of architecture studio teaching are analyzed from the perspective of the existing literature on teaching and teachers'…

This 34-item bibliography brings together the random articles about programing, which have appeared in a variety of publications, to establish a resource for architectural students and practitioners who need a clearer understanding of the nature of architectural programing. The entries are divided into those that serve as an introduction to either…

This paper presents the basics of the theory, and some examples of recent applications that have guided its development. The…

Ways that environment and behavior research is taught to design students and how it is being introduced into architectural curricula/design studio are examined. Examples of explicit environment and behavior research use in building designs are provided. (MLW)

One hundred and fifty papers deal with the current range of concerns in the emergent field of environmental design research and emphasize the relating of research to practice.
