笔者深信,一种新技术和新数据指引下的循证设计方法可以解锁有关人类空间感知与行为的新知。这样做的同时也将激发设计师的创造力并说服人们执行过去无法判断的决策。之所以敢这样说,是因为在过去25年实践中,笔者见证了许多类似的情况发生。因此,新分析技术的发展、新数据源的涌现以及更强大的计算能力为环境行为研究的演进提供了优越的条件。当我们从事设计之时,我们实质上是在预测未来。设计师应当首先考虑未来使用和拥有这些建成环境、穿行于我们所创造的街道并于此间彼此交流的人们。他们才是对设计师所做的一切赋予社会和经济意义的 The author believes that an evidence-based design approach guided by new technologies and new data can unlock new knowledge about human perception and behavior in space. Doing so will also stimulate the creativity of the designer and persuade people to make decisions that were beyond judgment. The reason I dare to say this is because in the past 25 years of practice, I witnessed many similar situations. Therefore, the development of new analytical techniques, the emergence of new data sources and more powerful computational capabilities provide superior conditions for the evolution of environmental behavior research. When we engage in design, we are essentially predicting the future. Designers should first consider the future use and possession of these built environment, walk through the streets we create and communicate with each other here. They give social and economic significance to everything the designer does
