![]() | Visual Research Methods in Design (Routledge Revivals) Subjects: Arts; Built Environment; Design; Architecture; Planning; Architectural Design Drawing and Presentation; Professional Practice; Theory of Architecture; Community Planning and Planning Techniques; Housing and Communities; Planning and Sustainability; Planning Theory; Spatial and Regional Planning; Urban Design; First published in 1991, this book is about applications and issues relating to the visual environment. The content pertains to the understanding of human behaviour in the environment by recording behaviour and actions or by direct interaction with people. The author examines research and planning methods that primarily stress the visual features of the physical environment. Traditionally, environmental research has relied on verbal descriptions and perceptions of the physical environment, virtually ignoring the visual component and the potential application of the social sciences for gathering this data. Various strategies that can expand the visual information base have been explored here: diagramming, photo-interviewing, photo-sorting, mapping, notation, simulation, videotaping, and CADD. |
