"How does a room affect an occupant's behavior and well-being? How does a building influence its residents' health? Environmental Psychology for Design, 4th Edition, explores these questions with an in-depth look at psychosocial responses to the built environment. Awarded the 2006 ASID Joel Polsky Prize, the first edition served as an introduction to the discipline of environmental psychology and inspired readers to embrace its key concepts and incorporate them into their practice. This 4th edition continues to analyze the interaction between environments and human behavior and well-being, while exploring how individual differences related to age, gender, and cultural background impact that interaction. More discussions on logic formation and argumentation and how these ideas pertain to biological, psychological and sociological paradigms of thought have been incorporated. Additionally, chapters will be rearranged to allow for better content flow, and the emphasis will shift from person specific chapters to be place specific (i.e., schools for youth, long-term care facilities, and more). Ethical Consideration and Pandemic Ponderings box features are included throughout"--

Questo volume costituisce l'esordio editoriale di Patricio Reig, fotografo ispano-argentino residente a Milano, e ne mette in luce un tema per lui fondamentale quale il ritratto di donna. Attraverso la sua fotografia spiega il sottile equilibrio del suo immaginario femminile: il verso come l'ovvio, il rovescio come la sua contrapposizione. Così, un volto e la nuca, il dietro e il davanti, la luce e l'ombra si incontrano per dar vita alla magia di un ritratto. Patricio Reig stampa e fissa le sue immagini su carte speciali provenienti dall'Oriente, piegate e ripiegate, e infine oggetto di un bagno di caffè e iposolfito di sodio. Il risultato raggiunto lo affascina fin dai primi esperimenti: le macchie di caffè accidentali diventano cicatrici che connotano ciascuna fotografia e, di conseguenza, ognuna delle storie raccontate. Come egli stesso afferma "un ritratto non è una registrazione unica dell'identità, ma è la stratificazione di molti altri elementi. Per tanto, l'immagine può anche essere segmentata, ricucita e persino piegata, senza perdere la sua essenza".
