This study follows Albena Yaneva’s approach to analysing the built environment. In Making the social hold: Towards an Actor-Network Theory of Design (2009), Yaneva comprehensively analyzed how architectural elements influence our experiences in built environments. Through describing her actions and perceptions within a university building, Yaneva conceptualizes these architectural elements as socio-technical devices and highlights the impact of these devices as mediators between individuals and their environment.
