We reflect on our experiences using Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) in the project “TAS for Health at Home”. Driven by a multi-disciplinary research team that consisted of experts in mental health, stroke rehabilitation, management of multi... Read More about Reflections on RRI in “TAS for Health at Home”.

Disabled-by-design: effects of inaccessible urban public spaces on users of mobility assistive devices–a systematic review (2022)
Journal Article

Purpose Despite the increase of users of Mobility Assistive Devices (MobAD), there has been a lack of accessibility in urban environments in many parts of the world. We present a systematic review of how the inaccessible design of public spaces affe...

Room to breathe: Using adaptive architecture to examine the relationship between alexithymia and interoception (2021)
Journal Article

Objective: Individuals with alexithymia experience difficulties interpreting emotional states in self and others, which has been associated with interoceptive impairment. Current theories are primarily based on subjective and conscious measures of in...

Relational architectures and wearable space: Smart schools and the politics of ubiquitous sensation (2019)
Journal Article

This paper undertakes an analysis of the "smart school" as a building that both senses and manages bodies through sensory data. The authors argue that smart schools produce a situation of ubiquitous sensation in which learning environments are contin...

The Performative Mirror Space (2019)
Conference Proceeding

Interactive mirrors, typically combining semi-transparent mirrors, digital screens and interaction mechanisms have been developed for a variety of application areas. Drawing on existing techniques to create interactive mirror spaces, we investigated... Read More about The Performative Mirror Space.

WABI: Facilitating Synchrony Between Inhabitants of Adaptive Architecture (2019)
Book Chapter

We spend most of our lives in buildings where we interact with people that occupy the same space. A common and intuitive form of interaction with others is to synchronise our own behaviour with theirs, and such interpersonal synchrony can have variou...

Adaptive Architecture and Personal Data (2019)
Journal Article

Via sensors carried by people and sensors embedded in the environment, personal data is being processed to try to understand activity patterns and people{\textquoteright}s internal states in the context of human-building interaction. This data is use... Read More about Adaptive Architecture and Personal Data.

Adaptive Architecture: regulating human building interaction (2019)
Journal Article

In this paper, we explore the regulatory, technical and interactional implications of Adaptive Architecture (AA) and how it will recalibrate the nature of human-building interaction. We comprehensively unpack the emergence and history of this novel c... Read More about Adaptive Architecture: regulating human building interaction.

Living with Adaptive Architecture (2018)
Exhibition / Performance

The large-scale introduction of computing technologies into buildings has made architecture adaptive to its environment and its inhabitants. Systems of sensors, actuators and software have changed the way we live in such buildings, how we interact wi... Read More about Living with Adaptive Architecture.

Interacting with adaptive architecture (2017)
Journal Article

The design and fabrication of adaptive architecture are often driven by technological possibilities, such as employing the latest construction materials and processes, the newest sensors, better actuators, or novel data- processing capabilities. Less... Read More about Interacting with adaptive architecture.

Reciprocal Control in Adaptive Environments (2017)
Journal Article

© The Author 2017. Published by Oxford University Press on behalf of The British Computer Society. Computing has become an established part of the built environment augmenting it to become adaptive. We generally assume that we control the adaptive en... Read More about Reciprocal Control in Adaptive Environments.

Enaction in adaptive architecture (2016)
Journal Article

Our life is becoming increasingly computerised at nearly all scales, a trend evident in terms such as the Smart City, the Smart Home, or the Internet of Things. The introduction of digital technology enables environments to respond to data gathered f... Read More about Enaction in adaptive architecture.

ExoPranayama: a biofeedback-driven actuated environment for supporting yoga breathing practices (2016)
Journal Article

© 2016, The Author(s). Both breathing and internal self-awareness are an integral part of any yoga practice. We describe and discuss the development of ExoPranayama, an actuated environment that physically manifests users’ breathing in yoga. Through... Read More about ExoPranayama: a biofeedback-driven actuated environment for supporting yoga breathing practices.

Embodied interactions with adaptive architecture (2016)
Book Chapter

We discuss increasingly behaviour-responsive adaptive architecture from an embodied point of view. Especially useful in this context is an understanding of embodied cognition called ‘the 4E approach,’ which includes embodied, extended, embedded, and...

Enacted Embodiment in Adaptive Architecture: Physiological Interactions Between Inhabitants and Biofeedback Architecture (2015)
Thesis

This thesis argues for an enactive embodied approach to understanding interactions with Adaptive Architecture. The growing interest in Ubiquitous and Pervasive Computing, including the current trends of wearable, sensor infused technology, shows the...

This paper explores the role of immersion in the generation of specific interactive effects, within the context of the emerging research field of Adaptive Architecture. Drawing on an existing biofeedback-driv... Read More about The immersive effect of adaptive architecture.

Using adaptive architecture to support yoga practices: social considerations for design (2014)
Conference Proceeding

The field of Adaptive Architecture aims to design built environments, which truly adapt to their occupants. ExoBuilding is an in-house prototypical example of Adaptive Architecture, which actuates in response to breathing and heart- rate of its occup...
