Abstract
Post Occupancy Evaluation (POE) is a
research method that examines how
buildings function; when the functions
include social life, social science methods
must be employed. This paper advocates
using POE social research both in architectural
practice and in architectural education
to promote evidence-based design. Based
on four decades of experience teaching
POE to undergraduates at the University
of California Berkeley, we show how POE
can be conducted and taught: gather the
research questions, set up teams to collect
data using different data collection techniques,
and analyze the results by comparing
and contrasting the findings of each team.
We discuss the importance of POE research
to architectural practice, education, and
accumulated institutional knowledge.
