Reviews

'As it happens, we understand very little about how human beings interact emotionally and physiologically with the world around us. This is beginning to change. The collection of essays in this recent book on Urban Experience and Design describes various studies ranging from biometric monitoring to way-finding surveys, providing unique insight into our cognitive processing of environmental stimuli... Taken together these contributions could indeed inform a new paradigm for the design professions.' Woodworth, A.V. (n.d.). BOOK REVIEW: URBAN EXPERIENCE AND DESIGN: CONTEMPORARY PERSPECTIVES ON IMPROVING THE PUBLIC REALM, EDITED BY Justin B. Hollander and Ann Sussman. New Design Ideas, Vol.5, No.2, 2021, pp.224-226
