The purpose of EDRA is the advancement and dissemination of environmental design research, thereby improving understanding of the interrelationships between people, their built and natural surroundings, and helping to create environments responsive to human needs. EDRA celebrates more than 40 years of research-based innovations for all built and natural environments. EDRA’s roots are strong and flourishing. Our organization’s vibrant network of visionaries have anticipated movements in research and design decades before they have hit the mainstream.

EDRA’s lineage of members have pioneered environment and behavior studies, evidence-based design, facility evaluation methods, sustainability, active living community planning, universal design, diversity in design, workplace design and informatics, and digital technologies.

Membership is available to individuals at $175 a year, with discounts for students and retired professionals. Significant membership benefits are provided. Not-for-Profit, Academic, and Corporate memberships are also available, with additional benefits.
