University of Cambridge (Human-Scale Design Research Institute)

The University of Cambridge’s Human-Scale Design Research Institute focuses on creating environments and technologies that prioritize human needs, comfort, and well-being. They study how people interact with their surroundings—such as homes, workplaces, and public spaces—aiming to improve design for better functionality, sustainability, and user experience. Using research and innovative design techniques, they develop solutions that enhance everyday life while respecting the individual’s scale and perceptions. Their work informs smarter, more human-centered architecture and products, fostering environments that support health, productivity, and community connection.
