The Polish-American architect had a keen interest in Environment Behavioral Studies and tried to highlight certain aspects of the same through the 162-page read, divided into six chapters. He begins the book by stating that the study of house and form is multi-disciplinary and involves fields of architecture, culture, geography, history, city planning, anthropology, ethnography, cross-cultural studies, and behavioural sciences.""The Meaning of the Built Environment is a lively illustrated study of the meanings of everyday buildings for their users. Professor Rapoport uses examples and vignettes, drawn from many cultures and historical eras as well as contemporary America, to explicate a new framework for understanding how the built environment comes to have meaning, both for individual people and whole societies."Per the photos please note age and use related wear: House Form and Culture- cover creases, some discoloration, tear on back cover, sticker remnants back cover, pages clean with no mark-ups suggesting a condition of 'Good'.The Meaning of the Built Environment- creases scratches and rubwear to covers, dog-eared pages and original owner mark-ups in text, suggesting 'Acceptable'.
