Environmentel design can be taken as the cumulation of decision making. To make these decisions more successful and efficient, the goals of a design ought to be identified at each stage. We regard that the role of place evaluation research is to provide the knowledge of user's evaluation of a place for designers so that they can explore the optimum solution in a more systematic way. From the viewpoint of cognitive psychology, place evaluation can be taken as the degree to which a person sees a place as helping to achieve that person's goals on his/her cognitive system. Therefore, the goal of this research can be said as to provide a viable model of people's cognitive system associated with place evaluation. To achieve this goal, two requirements were set up. 1) The model should be of phenomenological knowledge of place evaluation, i.e. individual differences should not be disregarded. 2) The model should be a statistically condensed and tested representation of place evaluation. Based on G. A. Kelly's personal construct theory, the evaluation grid method was elaborated to satisfy the first requirement. In this paper, theoretical basis and implications of the method are discussed together with an example of the method applied on the living room evaluation.
