Choice Architecture

A new approach to behavior, design, and wellness

Beschreibung

Using the ideas of rational choice theory and behavioral economics, Choice Architecture shows how behavior, design, and wellness are deeply interconnected. We actively choose our responses to the architectural meanings we experience based on our perception of individual contexts. This book brings insight to how the potential of the built environment can influence our well-being and offers a way to approach and realize design for human flourishing.
