although I appreciated their mundane-ness as good design is not necessarily loud This was an interesting read, but I am not sure it was worth what I paid for it. Many of the ideas have been discussed for a long time. The case studies seemed to be selected at random, although I appreciated their mundane-ness as good design is not necessarily loud.

More than one hundred photographs and drawings illustrate its key concepts. The text suggests new ways to analyze current designs before they are built, allowing the designer to anticipate a user's future experience. Six exercises and additional case studies suggest particular topics - from the significance of face-processing in the human brain to our fascination with fractals - for further study.. *Winner of the Environmental Design Research Association 2016 Place Research Award!*In Cognitive Architecture, the authors r
