Embodied Architectures: Signals, Data, and Perception

Harvard GSD

Cross-disciplinary seminar at the intersection of design, physical computing, and psychophysiology.This course examines how designers can create environments and objects that sense and respond to bodies, context, and ambient conditions. As ubiquitous sensing (biosignals, environmental data, spatial tracking) becomes embedded across scales, from wearables to materials to rooms, how can designers meaningfully integrate and interpret these signals, and how should they critique their use? In this…
