Deciphering the Iconic: An Inquiry into how Architecture Impacts the Inclusiveness of Cultural Institutions
Public libraries have seen a decline in attendance numbers in recent years, especially among visitors with lower levels of education.

Our research explores whether these two developments are connected and how education- and class-based differences regardi…
Architecture, aesthetics, class and library attendance: An overlooked threshold for visiting public libraries
Several researchers have applied Bourdieu’s concept of habitus to studies regarding the experience of space and architecture, concluding that respondents often experience surroundings very differently, depending on their social class.

We believe this to be the case for public libraries, whic…

Virtual reality (VR) is still very much a niche technology despite its increasing popularity since recent years.

However, so far only a very limited amount of software has been developed for the specific purpose of conducting (social science) research. In this article, we illustrate that integrating virtual reality to good …
