This is the second in Gensler's Research Catalogue series, and the first to be made available for public sale. Volume 1 received significant praise from academic, business, and design audiences - both for the insights it contained and for its design. Volume 2 builds on this tradition, focused on the expression of research findings and insights in compelling, highly visual forms that are both easily accessible and graphically beautiful. Among the topics explored in Volume 2 are Gensler's ongoing series of Workplace Surveys, conducted most recently in the US, UK, and Asia; Gensler's Brand Engagement Survey series, with recent findings focused on the values and behaviors of consumers in Bangalore and Shanghai; strategies to use design to better support today's "active aging" population; the future of museum design; how we can involve communities in the "hacking" of our cities to prepare for the needs of a new generation of occupants; and the potential that lies at the intersection of copter and 3D printing technology. In addition to profiling Gensler's myriad research investigations, the publication also highlights the history and ethos of Gensler's research program as it celebrates its ten-year anniversary. The Catalogue offers not only thought-provoking descriptions of individual research, but an overall evidence-based approach to design with the human experience at its heart.

“Bringing a different world into existence – Action Research as a trigger for innovations” was the overarching theme and vision of the international CARN Conference 2011 in Vienna. The chapters in this book are drawn mainly from conference contributions. The authors share practical knowledge which has arisen from their work, and reflect on development processes in schools, in teacher education and professional development, social work, social peda¬gogy, health care and community development. This book offers what some critics believe has been missing in recent action research literature, namely first person accounts of action researchers who endeavour to change working conditions and social relations in their environment through the conduct of action research. This book is also distinguished by assembling contributions from people who are linking action research to a broad diversity of differing contexts, and who are exploring topics or issues across various applications of action research.

This work evaluates the merits of a widely-used approach to natural resource management, participatory action research (PAR), an approach to resource management that strives to link researchers with farmers and other local residents whose lives are effected by long-range conservation programmes. The authors begin the book with the history of PAR, and then use a variety of case studies that chronicle sustainable development efforts in Brazil. They evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of these efforts and suggest specific ways to improve on future PAR efforts.
Action research is generally considered to have been pioneered by Kurt Lewin in
the 1940s. Lewin was involved in government programs to improve intergroup
relations, and he sought methods of improving the contribution of science to the ...
