People and Spaces: Experience, Ethics, and Intent examines the dynamic relationship between built environments and human behavior in today's rapidly evolving world.

Co-edited by a designer and a psychologist, this interdisciplinary collection reveals how the spaces we inhabit shape and reflect our self-expression, social structures and cultural values. Drawing on diverse perspectives, case studies and innovative research, People and Spaces equips readers from any discipline with practical human-centric knowledge to enhance environments in meaningful ways. This blend of essays and expert insights demonstrates the value of intentional approaches to design and research and offers actionable guidance for creating supportive and sustainable environments.

This book is relevant to a broad audience, including scholars, professionals, and students in architecture, interior design, psychology, and related fields, as well as industry practitioners interested in the intersection of built environments and human experience. It is an essential resource for those seeking to understand and influence the relationship between people and space.
