Architectural designSummary: Effective evaluation of architectural schemes – whether in progress or completed – can generate evidence and action to enhance people's experience of buildings and spaces. Ziona Strelitz, founding director of London‐based specialists ZZA Responsive User Environments, advocates ‘design anthropology’, an approach she has developed and honed to join meaningful dots in understanding the interplay of the myriad elements that define built spaces and influence their use. Emphasising the benefits of in‐depth, in‐situ, structured interviews over online surveys, she describes three main modes of research, with examples of her practice's contribution across a wide range of users and building types – governmental, academic, banking, media, commercial, policing and public realm.
