We’re happy to announce the launch of our center, CENTIENTS, the Center for Intelligent Environments. CENTIENTS facilitates a broad, far-reaching conversation and research about how to design, introduce, and oversee user-centered solutions in ways that make built environments not only more supportive of personal and organizational goals but also safer, healthier, more humane, and capable of producing joy and well-being in the humans that use them.

CENTIENTS is leading in the field of Human-Building Interaction (HBI). Click on the link above to watch the video in which experts from multiple disciplines define the emerging field of Human-Building Interaction (HBI).
