The research group Architecture and Intelligent Living tackles questions related to accessibility, comfort perception in built spaces and data-driven design and operation. In the context of accessibility, our work focuses on how buildings and cities could be designed to support equitable access and independence of all people. With a focus on comfort perception, we like to advance our understanding of what makes spaces pleasant and restorative for different people, temporalities and contexts. In terms of data-driven design and operations, we like to address the issues of health in spaces and climate awareness, particularly how this information can be used to support occupant decision-making and improve buildings at the design stages. By examining the physical space in relationship to information and technology, our work also asks whether and how the presence of technology can support our usage and experience of built spaces.
