This seminar explores how knowledge about the brain, body and environment can inform design applications which support health, wellbeing and performance.

By gaining a greater awareness of critical issues concerning human and social connectivity to the built environment, students can apply this knowledge during design to promote health and welfare.

In this coaching workshop designed for working professionals, I share strategies for how designers, companies, and healthcare systems can put evidence-based design into practice.

Part seminar, part studio, this hybrid course introduces methods to evaluate the inclusivity of our existing environments across mobility, sensory, and cognitive dimensions. Students create a design project which improves accessibility.

In this design studio, students analyzed schools and learning environments in parallel with investigating how learning and development changes from pre-school through high school, and varies across abilities to create a science-informed design for a middle or high school.

Our body is a tool which gives us our primary experience of knowing and understanding the environment. In this studio, we use human experience as a starting point in the design process to evaluate environments, and then choreograph meaningful experiences through architectural design.
