Architects’ Perception of Quality of Life—Impact, Practice, and Barriers https://lnkd.in/dRjS_6j4 Together with Stine Lea Jacobi in a fantastic collaboration, we have just published this article. The study identifies the perception of quality of life (QoL) among Danish architects, how architecture can impact QoL, and which barriers architects perceive to impact QoL. The contribution of this study is to provide an increasingly important awareness of how to improve the architects’ considerations to build for QoL for residential buildings. The study also contributes to how qualitative methods can be applied, with included projective methods, validity, and reliability. The study is based on qualitative data from in-depth interviews with ten architects and one workshop with seven architects. Free association and card sorting was among other methods used. Card sorting was used as a gateway for stimulating reflections and as a method for content analysis, and we visualized the qualitative data in a radar chart - providing the frequency of cards in various categories The results reveal that the perceptions of QoL among architects are linked to three primary dimensions: health, a sense of harmony, and the experience of enchantment. The participants perceived that architectural design could impact QoL in three primary dimensions: the environment, the experience of enchantment, and health. The most frequent perceived barriers are linked to the economy and resources, building codes and regulations, and knowledge and communication. Cite as: Jacobi, S.L.; Bjørner, T.
