Abstract
The research investigates the multidisciplinary nature of the ambiance notion and proposes a novel methodology to strengthen multidisciplinary collabora-tions. In particular, an ad hoc tool named “mapping ambiance” based on semi-structured interviews, was developed. A qualitative analytical method for studying and comparing results was implemented and applied to twenty cas-es. The process highlights commonalities and discrepancies of different inter-national approaches by researchers dealing with the notion of ambiance. This paper presents the research methodology and the outcomes of a case study application, as follows: (i) a methodological approach to investigate the am-biance from a multidisciplinary and comparable perspective; (ii) a first com-prehensive interdisciplinary theoretical framework and a first collection of methodological procedures, based on interviews, to capture and represent the ambiance in different disciplines; (iii) an interactive platform that enables to depict and navigate the interviews contents and the outcomes of the qualita-tive analysis process.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
