Leveraging Science For People-Centered Design

Leveraging Science for People-Centered Design is a dynamic six-session series that shows architects how insights from the sciences of people can transform design thinking and practice, with a strong focus on health, safety and welfare (HSW).

Building on the pioneering work of the presenter Milton Shinberg, AIA architect, educator, and principal emeritus of Shinberg Levinas Architects, this series brings together human factors, neuroscience, psychology, and aesthetics to illuminate how people actually experience the built environment.
