Fall 2022 ANFA Bootcamp

Design, Space, Motion

The focus of the Bootcamp was on how to improve human-centered design by incorporating information about human perception and orienting behavior, including the themes of (1) dimensionality and proportion, (2) motion and navigation, (3) embodied and enactive experience.

The Bootcamp program received the following credits from AIA: 6 Learning Units (LU) and 7.5 LU/ Health, Safety, Welfare units(HSW).

2021 symposium

Quantified Buildings, Quantified Self

The ANFA Symposium explored how big data about people's activities in buildings offers a more empirical understanding of human-building interaction, promising better architectural design decisions (Viewable only by Members).

2020 conference

Sensing Space, Perceiving Places

2018 conference

Shared Behavior Outcomes

2016 conference

Connections: BridgeSynapses

2014 conference
