EVA Studio team is experienced in providing Post-Occupancy Evaluation, which is widely recognised as being central to addressing the gap between the designed intentions and the actual outcomes in use, and pivotal in understanding the wider socioeconomic, environmental and cultural impacts of investment in quality design.

Post-Occupancy Evaluation is not just about user satisfaction but can also include more intangible issues such as identity, sense of belonging and community resilience.

Measuring the impact of a public space is not always straightforward; in order to fully understand a public space project’s outcome and success EVA Studio adopts a specific methodology to run a long-term evaluation, which includes both quantitative and qualitative tools, from the people-moving counts (divided by gender and age) at different time of the day and the week, visual-spatial observation of how the site is used, to questionnaires and interviews. Post-completion dedicated focus groups sessions allow maintaining the community engagement established at the beginning of the process and to continue promoting ownership of the project.
