Abstract
This study aimed to identify the perceptions of students and faculty at two architecture programs in
the Southeastern United States about the effects of architecture design decisions on occupants. The
data revealed that students and professors acknowledged various human issues in the design
projects which were divided in five categories: (1) Interaction with building, (2) Image of the
building, (3) Effects on occupant behavior, (4) Feeling within the space, and (5) Other related
concerns. These categories are discussed and comparisons drawn to identify the nature of
architecture pedagogy with reference to occupants’ experiences in architectural spaces. Suggestions
are made for architecture curricula to ensure that the understanding of these concerns among
students and faculty is fully harnessed and nurtured.
