ABSTRACT

Imagine an environment that predicts and responds to occupant need with such harmony, that occupants thrive not only physically, but also mentally and spiritually. This is an environment in perfect synergy, manifest through the relationships between its parts that come together to yield transformational occupant experience. This book delves into this next evolution of architectural design, where adaptive sensory environments go beyond comfort to help occupants achieve not only short-term needs, but also longer-term milestones, goals and ultimate fulfillment. These are environments where health, safety and happiness abound because they stem from the synergy lens.
