Design Intervention: Toward a More Humane Architecture, first published in 1991, intends to demonstrate that interest in social issues is alive and well in architecture, that there is a small but effective cadre of dedicated professionals who continue to commit themselves to solving social problems, and that architecture is being applied to the alleviation of the social ills of our time. The editors and contributors in this book have all grappled with their own definitions of design innovation, and express in practical and useful ways their ideas for contributing to a better and less needy world through the architecture they describe. This book will be of interest to students of architecture.
The building performance evaluation (BPE) framework emphasizes an
evaluative stance throughout the six phases of the building
delivery and life cycle: (1) strategic planning/needs analysis; (2)
program review; (3) design review; (4) post-construction
evaluation/review; (5) post-occupancy evaluation; and, (6)
facilities management review/adaptive reuse.
This book deals with the problems that are created when employers
try to decrease the size of individual offices and workstations in
order to increase work efficiency. Employees, who often regard
their workspace as a "home from home," a retreat and a space that
symbolizes their status and marks their territory feel threatened
by this attempt to shrink "their" room.

The lessons learned from positive and negative building performance are fed into future building delivery cycles. The case studies illustrate how this basic methodology has been adapted to a range of cultural contexts, and indicates the positive results of building performance assessment in a wide range of situations.
