"This book offers an efficient set of step-by-step tips and overarching lessons about how to gather useful, meaningful, and socially-informed data about clients' experiences in architecture and interior design professions. In this guide, author Michelle Janning helps the design professional conduct ongoing evaluation of design projects, create useful pre- and post-design evaluations, frame effective questions for improved future design, involve various stakeholders in the research process, and focus on responsible and evidence-based user-centered design to improve the relationship between design and people's experiences. Examining a variety of both large- and small-scale project examples from different institutional realms, including healthcare sites, schools, residences, eating establishments, museums and theaters, this book highlights the overlap in these types of projects, but also the differences between project sizes that may impact the methods used in any given project. It also offers tools for how to communicate design success to audiences that include potential clients, occupants, and other designers. A Guide to Socially-Informed Research for Architects and Designers is a go-to reference for design professionals interested in using accessible social scientific methods to gather essential and practical information from people who occupy the spaces they design, and to do so in an ethical, inclusive, and socially-informed way in order to enhance social sustainability in the built environment"--

Bilingual edition (English/German) / Zweisprachige Ausgabe (deutsch/englisch) Whoever builds is inevitably confronted with a jungle of different positions, all with one thing in common: they are all the views of professionals. As a discipline, architecture occupies a special role. It is a profession itself, and one which relates to numerous other professions and integrates them into its practice of planning and building. GAM 19 interrogates the complex constellations and various semantic meanings of professionalism in architecture. How have the professional foundations of the discipline shifted over time due to economic, ecological, or societal changes, and how do today’s architects engage with them? What is there to be learned from all the hybrid forms in which professional procedures are circumvented by unprofessional processes in order to produce hitherto unknown results? GAM 19 takes on the task of analyzing and re-evaluating architecture’s occupational profile, providing a platform for a diverse range of players to reflect on the concept of professionalism in the context of their architectural practice and to identify its contemporary manifestations. With contributions by Grayson Bailey, Alexander Bartscher, Klara Bindl, Ivica Brnić, Peggy Deamer, Anne Femmer, Andri Gerber, Andreas Lechner, Alex Lehnerer, Yeoryia Manolopoulou, Jan Meier, Julian Müller, Victoria Steiner, Florian Summa, Juergen Teller, and Lena Unger Zweisprachige Ausgabe (deutsch/englisch) / Bilingual edition (English/German) Wer baut, sieht sich mit einem Dickicht von Positionen konfrontiert, die vor allem eins sind: Stimmen von Profis. Die Architektur nimmt dabei als Disziplin eine Sonderrolle ein, da sie seit jeher eine Profession bildet, die sich auf andere Professionen bezieht und diese in ihre Praxis des Planens und Bauens integriert. GAM 19 fragt nach den komplexen Konstellationen und unterschiedlichen Bedeutungsebenen von Professionalität in der Architektur: Wie haben sich die professionellen Fundamente der Disziplin aufgrund ökonomischer, ökologischer oder gesellschaftlicher Veränderungen im Wandel der Zeit verschoben und wie gehen Architekt*innen heute damit um? Was lässt sich von den Mischformen lernen, bei denen professionelle Abläufe von unprofessionellen Verfahren hintergangen werden, um bisher unbekannte Resultate zu erzeugen? GAM 19 nimmt sich der Analyse und Neubewertung des Berufsbilds der Architektur an und lässt unterschiedliche Akteur*innen zu Wort kommen, die den Begriff des Professionalismus im Kontext ihrer architektonischen Praxis reflektieren und seinen gegenwärtigen Ausprägungen nachspüren.
