Abstract Details

2003, MARCH, University of Cincinnati, Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning : Architecture.
Architecture often fails to meet people’s need for privacy. This failure is not for a lack of trying, but rather due to a lack of understanding privacy as the process of regulating interaction with others. Privacy is often misconstrued as the shutting out of interaction. Privacy is a dialectic process of increasing and decreasing interaction. Desires for interaction are dynamic and varying, shifting through time and from person to person. Behavioral mechanisms such as personal space, verbal and preverbal communications, and territory are used to regulate privacy. Architecture often fails to respond to the dynamics and variations of privacy desires, rather imposing an environment supporting a fixed level of interaction, against which occupants must struggle. Environments should be supportive of the user’s privacy needs, facilitating the behavioral processes used to regulate interaction.
