Evidence-based design is an informed approach to design that
intentionally bases decisions on quantitative and qualitative
research. It is systematic inquiry that not only creates knowledge
but also solves design problems.This text looks at both residential
and commercial spaces and provides a basis for research and
investigation prior to sketching or developing drawings. It focuses
on research that will take place in a library with books, scholarly
journals, trade magazines and other periodicals or through the
Internet as important resources. What differentiates this textbook
from traditional research text books is that the precedents, key
terms/concepts, case studies, questions, problems, and surveys all
relate to interior design, so that student's learn not only how to
conduct research and report the findings, but how to apply the
findings to the design solution. And as the quality of the design
solution depends on the quality of research, the students'
understanding of what and how to research topics relevant to a
particular design project is vital.Features:-- Chapters include
