User Oriented Architectural Design in a Critical Perspective

Abstract

Criticism of authoritarian practice in architecture has led to efforts by architects to take users' points of view into account and to develop an adaptive model of planning. Yet results have not been convincing. A critical look at a few attempts leads to questions about the existing relationships between planning activities, the development of organizational culture, and about practical morality within an organization when groups of users hold conflicting values and purposes
