Research tools for design. spatial layout and patterns of users’ behaviour : Proceedings of seminar, 28-29 January 2010, department of Architectural technology and design “P. spadolini”, University of Florence
“Research Tools for Design: Spatial Layout and Patterns of Users’ Behaviour” is a comprehensive exploration of the various research methods and tools employed in the field of design to study spatial layout and analyze users’ behavior patterns. Written by Nicoletta Setola, an esteemed expert in design research, this book offers a valuable resource for designers, architects, researchers, and students interested in understanding the relationship between spatial design and human behavior. The book starts by introducing the importance of considering users’ behavior and experience when designing spaces. It emphasizes the need for evidence-based design decisions and presents an overview of research methodologies employed in the field. The author highlights the significance of spatial layout and its impact on users’ behavior, satisfaction, and overall experience. This publication delves into various research tools and techniques used to study spatial layout and user behavior, including observational studies, interviews, questionnaires, and advanced technologies such as eye-tracking and virtual reality simulations. The book provides practical guidance on the application of these tools, discussing their strengths and limitations, and offering insights on data collection, analysis, and interpretation. Furthermore, the author explores the concept of patterns in users’ behavior and how these patterns can be identified and analyzed through different research methods. The book discusses the importance of understanding these patterns to inform design decisions and create spaces that better accommodate users’ needs and preferences. “Research Tools for Design: Spatial Layout and Patterns of Users’ Behaviour” is a valuable resource for design professionals and researchers looking to enhance their understanding of the relationship between spatial design and users’ behavior. With its practical approach and comprehensive coverage of research tools, this book serves as a guide for conducting effective design research and creating user-centric spaces. Published by Firenze University Press in 2011, this publication reflects the author’s expertise and contributes to the advancement of design research in the field of spatial layout and user behavior.
