Making Things for People
My education has been eclectic, beginning with studying architecture for two years, then switching to psychology for my BA. The connection between these disciplines is that they seek to understand human behavior, psychology in theory; architecture in practice. While architects must learn a lot about building technologies so that their work serves the purpose for which it is intended, there are underlying assumptions about the inter-dependencies between people and the places they live, work, learn, and play. In the late 1960s – early 1970s when I was in architecture school there was much questioning about those assumptions.
