The issue of human movement is of interest to
researchers from various disciplines and designers of various environments. The
term 'movement' refers to that of human walkers as they navigate, distribute,
way-finding, or browse. EDRAMOVE offers these various interests
a forum for sharing ideas under the broad category "Movement in Designed
Environments."
EDRAMOVE is a venue for presenting
theories and methods involving human movement through designed environments such
as hospitals, museums, parks, retail spaces, campus pathways, etc. Participants
represent research and professional perspectives from Geography, Psychology,
Cognitive Science, Wayfinding, Space Syntax, Computer Science, Facilities
Management, and the various Design disciplines. Operating from an architectural
point of view, this network puts emphasis on the environmental factors that
might be important in human movement. EDRAMOVE encourages
members to present their perspectives at the EDRA annual conference to explore
avenues of discussion, interaction and possible collaboration.

Although architects
shape human movement and cognition through the process of designing buildings,
their conceptions about these basic processes may not match those of the users.
Movement and cognition in built environments is usually investigated from the
perspectives of either the user or the designer. The proposed workshop aims to
provide an open forum to bridge these perspectives in an effort to link design
and research.
