Summary
The Environmental Design Research Association was formed in 1968 by designers who believed they had the social responsibility to use their expertise as a tool to alleviate environmental problems. The EDRA is the product of the Design Methods Group joining forces with the myriad of independent efforts of like minded organizations with the understanding that their work would be stronger together. As one, EDRA advocates on behalf of healthier, more democratic human environments. The mission of the EDRA is to build a collaborative community between disciplines that creates and advocates for environments that are responsive to human needs. In pursuit of this goal, the EDRA bridges theory, research, teaching, and practice to create more humane environments in collaboration with communities worldwide. They also promote research essential to improving quality of life while advocating for social justice. Human factors guide the EDRA. Members are leaders in environment and behavior studies, evidence-based design, facility evaluation methods, sustainability, community planning, universal design, diversity in design, workplace design and informatics, design education, and digital technologies. Together they advance and publicize environmental design research, which facilitates a stronger general understanding of the relationship between people, their built environment, and natural ecosystems.
