This eleventh volume in the series departs from the pattern of
earlier volumes. Some of those volumes addressed research, design,
and policy topics in terms of environmental settings, for example,
homes, communities, neighborhoods, and public places. Others
focused on environmental users, for example, chil dren and the
elderly. The present volume examines the field of environment and
behavior studies itself in the form of intellectual histories of
some of its most productive and still visible senior participants.
In so doing we hope to provide readers with a grand sweep of the
field-its research and design content, methodology, institutions,
and past and future trajectories-through the experiences and
intellectual histories of its participants. Why intellectual
histories? Several factors led to the decision to launch this
project. For one, 1989 was an anniversary and commemorative year
for the Environmental Design Research Association, perhaps the
major and most long-standing interdisciplinary organization of
environment and behavior re searchers and practitioners.
Established in 1969, this organization has been the vehicle for
generations of researchers and practitioners from many disciplines
to come together annually to exchange ideas, present papers, and
develop professional and personal relationships. It held its first
and twentieth meetings in North Carolina, with the twentieth
conference substantially devoted to dis cussions of the past,
present, and future of the field-a taking stock, so to speak. Thus
it seemed appropriate to launch a volume on intellectual histories
at this significant juncture in the life of the field."
