About
In a world where cities are planned from a bird’s eye view and buildings are subject to maximum efficiency, environments fall short of their original purpose: to serve humans. Human Spaces are environments created for the benefit of people. Whether used for work, study, living or recreation, a space can purposefully support or inhibit behaviors and either enhance or diminish experiences.
HUMAN SPACES is inspired by bringing back the human perspective into the built environment. Its content is designed to spark innovation, create new insights and kindle the flame. It is meant for everyone who is curious about the topic, and offers a stage to those who already put human-centric thinking in the built environment into action.
At HUMAN SPACES we explore how environments can better support people’s needs, emotions, and behavior. This research also guides our work at Rlevance — where we help organizations design in practice human-centered spaces with function, meaning and soul.
