    Synopsis

    Informing Design suggests a pedagogy in which design decision making is informed by more than speculative hunches, preferences, and intuition. The book consists of a collection of contributed chapters with leaders in both design practice and education sharing their expertise in various specialty areas. Each chapter provides background information about a building type and then illustrates how design decision making was informed by different forms of knowledge, ranging from soft sources such as product and Internet searches, programming, and the application of research findings from journal articles to the completion of a study that yields results applicable to the design problem at hand, as well as other projects. By reading Informing Design, students will learn to distinguish among information gathering, programming, and research; become familiar with research terminology and data collection methods; and apply the findings of others. This text provides students with the background that will help them to become more fluent and comfortable with informed design.
