In a lecture titled “The Designer’s Dilemma: People,” Nettleton spoke to an audience of students, faculty and staff members of the College of Architecture and Environmental Design. He addressed the need for architects to consider people when designing a structure. “If there were no people, there would be no buildings,” Nettleton told his audience. Nettleton said the first question one must ask oneself is whether ar chitects do indeed ignore people. His lecture, accompanied by slides, addressed observations he made re garding this question. Nettleton said there was evidence that architects still ignore people. very dia- “Architecture is not often involved with logue with clients. ” — Dr. Brian Nettleton There is other evidence of ar chitects not being taught to consider E eople, he added.

Evans Library and pulled every fifth book dealing with people from the architecture section and did an analysis to see how often the books were borrowed. About 10 per cent had actually been borrowed, Nettleton said. “I looked at them all and there was only one sketch that had people in it,” Nettleton said. When he asked the student why the sketch had peo ple, Nettleton said the student told him of a professor who said things should be human scale. “ ‘Good man,T told him,” Nettle ton said. “ ‘10 out of 10 on the scale for you!’ ” In reviewing student designs, questions about how the design would affect those who would use the building are rarely asked, Nettle ton explained. “Totally absent were questions Nettleton said he felt etil such as this demonstrated am architects to be taught to keep pile in mind more. “Architecture is not veryofte volved with dialogue with di he added, saying that arc should better know the kindo!; son they are working with tc design-related problems.
