Talk or Panel The Psychology of places: designing spaces for performance and inclusivity

Humans constantly change their environment, and in turn, the environment changes their behaviors. Environmental psychology focuses on the interplay between people and their surroundings: how our environment affects the way we think, feel, and act.

In this talk we will discuss how to design spaces to fit (and enhance) human limits and capabilities. You will learn how to:
• create spaces that are inclusive and welcoming for all
• best integrate human activities with the surrounding environment.
• consider the impact of human-made structures, landscapes, and systems
• create spaces that promote a healthier, more sustainable relationship between humans, their activities and environment
