Science + DesignUncovering the dangers of interior design in space missionsIs interior design the most dangerous part of space travel? Deprived environments Prolonged exposure to under-stimulating, deprived environments leads to serious health consequences. Given that round trip travel to Mars will take 1.5 to 2 years, as we plan to go to Mars, how can we mitigate the dangerous health risks of environmental deprivation through design? Designers play a crucial role in crafting enriched environments not only for astronauts, but also for all those experiencing impacts from environmental deprivation on Earth. Let’s explore the cosmos of possibilities for creating a future where design does no harm, on Earth and beyond. Th...

Science + DesignIs there a Goldilocks Zone for design? Getting the Person-Environment fit "just right". You’ve heard of the Goldilocks Zone, you know, that perfect spot where everything just clicks. But is there such a thing within our built environments? In this episode, we’ll explore the person-environment fit model. We'll uncover the effects of environments that are either too demanding or too unstimulating, and why we often change ourselves instead of our surroundings. Learn how shaping spaces in support of a broad, flexible Goldilocks zone creates more opportunities for everyone to thrive.

Science + DesignHow can we alter perception through design?Unlocking the Secrets of Perception Shifting Through Design using Sensory Juxtaposition. Perception is how our brain interprets sensory information. Sensory juxtaposition is a powerful design tool to amplify perception for greater impact. By juxtaposing sensory qualities like light and dark, color, room scales, and acoustic treatments, designers can make spaces seem bigger, brighter, louder.
