Examines what architects can learn from anthropologists, focusing on architecture as a design practice; looks at the choices that designers have to make – whether engaging with a site context, drawing, modelling, constructing, or making a post-occupancy analysis; and explores how an anthropological view can help inform design decisions. Each chapter is arranged around a familiar building type (including the home, markets, museums, theaters, and restaurants), in each case showing how anthropology can help designers to think about the social life of buildings.
