In this collection of essays, Theorizing Built Form and Culture: The Legacy of Amos Rapoport – a felicitation volume to celebrate the significance of Professor Amos Rapoport's lifelong scholarship – scholars from around the world discuss the analytical relevance, expansion, and continuing application of these contributions in developing an advanced understanding of mutual relationships between people and built environments across cultures.Professor Amos Rapoport has espoused an intellectual and theoretical legacy on environmental design scholarship that explains how cultural factors play a significant role in the ways people create and use environments as well as the way environments, in turn, influence people’s behavior. This volume presents a hitherto-not-seen, unique, and singular work that simultaneously articulates a cohesive framework of Rapoport’s architectural theories and demonstrates how that theoretical approach be used in architectural inquiry, education, and practice across environmental scales, types, and cultural contexts. It also acknowledges, for the very first time, how this theoretical legacy has pioneered the decolonizing of the Eurocentric approaches to architectural inquiry and has thus privileged an inclusive, cross-cultural perspective that laid the groundwork to understand and analyze non-Western design traditions. The book thus reflects a wide range of cross-cultural and cross-contextual range to which Professor Rapoport’s theories apply, a general notion of theoretical validity he always advocated for in his own writings.The volume is a paramount source for scholars and students of architecture who are interested in understanding how culture mediates the creation, use, and preservation of the built environment.

This handbook examines the important relationship between interior environments and their users, presenting diverse analyses of human-centred design approaches. It encompasses empirical research across multiple dimensions – from the various scales at which interior spaces are experienced to cultural influences, theoretical frameworks, health impacts, and educational methodologies.Interior architecture has evolved significantly, establishing itself as a rigorous and crucial academic discipline and profession in global society. Rectifying outdated perceptions of designed interiors as merely a decorative realm, this handbook – featuring contributions from international authors – highlights the profound social, cultural, technological, and ecological impacts of interior architecture in the 21st century. The handbook presents cutting-edge research that emphasises technological advancements in interior design processes, comprehensive analyses of human-centred design through empirical studies and intellectual on spatial experience at various scales, cultural context and influences, theoretical perspectives and frameworks, health and well-being considerations, and educational approaches and professional practices.The volume is relevant to academics, design researchers, practitioners, and students by exploring interior architecture through multiple disciplinary lenses: psychology, sociology, neuroscience, anthropology, and ecology. Readers will gain valuable insights into how analytical approaches to interior architecture contribute significantly to positive human experiences and conditions in our built environments.
