A wise architect's guide for re-energizing architectural design thinking, capturing and applying discoveries from the human sciences and insights from non-architects, to transform architectural design, practice, and education.

People-Centered Architecture: Design Practice and Education is a unique exploration of concrete ways a deeper understanding of people helps and encourages architects to better serve everyone who use what they design. In this one-of-a-kind volume, veteran architect and educator Milton Shinberg presents game-changing approaches for enhancing and re-orienting architecture.

With a clear and accessible narrative style, Shinberg draws from decades of dialogue with architects, designers, clients, artists, scientists, teachers, and his students, to provide concepts and strategies for making design more robust and more resonant for clients and users, and much more rewarding for the design team. Shinberg's provocative ideas help architects, who are humanists, know much more about humans.

Exploring architecture through the lens of cognitive sciences and non-architects to promote more humane design, People-Centered Architecture:

*Explores ways architecture can resonate deeply with the people who use what architects create and those who decide what gets built. *Highlights ground-breaking research in the human sciences that can be translated into common-sense and elegant architectural thinking. *Investigates and unpacks how architectural intuitions and conventions can be expanded on and leveraged to breathe new life into design. *Creates a scaffold and language for examining how we experience architecture and ways to reframe design.

People-Centered Architecture: Design Practice and Education is a must-have resource for professional architects looking for client-focused design strategies, students and teachers of architectural theory and practice, along with clients and stakeholders. Through the book, each will see their project partners more clearly, more empathically, and in ways that foster better brainstorming and collaboration.

Milton Shinberg, AIA, is principal emeritus of Shinberg Levinas Architects, an internationally recognized practice honored by many design awards and published firm profiles. He is also a long-time adjunct professor in architecture at Catholic University of America, teaching design, drawing, and theory courses, among them his Beauty & Brains seminar, one of the prompts for this book. He lectures and teaches extensively on its topics at regional and national AIA conferences and for programs in Italy, Germany, and Brazil. Shinberg is on the advisory boards of the Academy of Neuroscience for Architecture and the International Arts+Mnd Lab of Johns Hopkins University.
