The Interaction between Human Beings and Architecture
What role does architecture play in the relationship between people, society and the environment? How can it be shaped so that it supports the health and development of people and society in an environmentally sustainable way?
Most architectural education and common building practices are primarily oriented towards the production of functional and economically feasible objects. What is needed is an all-encompassing awareness of how the architecture itself, especially in the urban environment, affects people, society and the environment.
