Human-Centered Design for High-Performance Facades

The thinking behind the presentation

This AIA continuing education course begins with a question: How does the building exterior influence the human experience?

From there, the presentation connects human-centered design with the technical characteristics of high-performance facades, making the education relevant to architects working across disciplines.

Research, visual storytelling, and learning design guide architects through a progression of ideas, building understanding of facade performance and its architectural value.

By the time the product was introduced, the education had already established why its performance mattered.
