“…While applications of ergonomics in interior and engineering design areas are well-established, examples of ergonomics as a generator of architectural forms are less frequent. Most of the existing applications in architecture focus on the design of health care facilities (Engström et al, 2001; C. Martin et al, 2000), working environments (Attaianese & Duca, 2012; Burnard & Kutnar, 2020; Motlagh et al, 2020; Pheasant & Haslegrave, 2005), intelligent buildings (Strumillo, 2014), educational built environments (Sarmento et al, 2019), and sustainable solutions (Gennari, 2000).…”

We spend most of our lives inside buildings. Although human–building interactions have a substantial impact on architectural design, there is no comprehensive framework for addressing buildings as facilitators of such interactions and as an interface between users and the environment. I share a framework derived from a project that incorporates principles of ergonomics into the early stages of architectural design processing. The main research objective is to outline a holistic approach to ergonomics-aided architectural design that addresses interactions between humans, buildings, and their environment. It also functions as guidance for designers to generate human-centered environment-friendly designs.
