For our questions to be successful and meaningful, they must originate from the design side of the process. By exploring the intersection of human factors and the built environment from a design perspective, we will be able to leverage the results of our research to create effective and empathetic design solutions.

Over its 131-year history, Coca-Cola has reinvented itself time and again, first as a remedy for ailments, then as a beverage, then as a marketing machine selling refreshment, youth, and happiness. But at a time where science links sugary drinks to negative health effects like obesity, diabetes, and heart disease, there is growing skepticism around its namesake product. Today, the company hopes to reinvent itself once again–this time as an innovation leader, and to do so, it has turned to its own headquarters.

Huge amounts of time, money and effort have been poured into perfecting green office design, off the back of growing recognition of the positive impact such environments have on workers' wellbeing. Trends come and go, but this one is underpinned by science. One recent study found that occupants of green-certified buildings have 26 percent higher cognitive function scores, sleep better, and report fewer health problems compared to those in uncertified buildings.

If the store of the future doesn't look like a store, it might be because it's a store you never really leave. New Amazon bookstores base displays on the company's internal data, organizing shelves by how many reviews the books get online or how far readers page into them on Kindle. The setup encourages shoppers to understand the store as an extension of the website rather than the other way around — you don't have to feel bad about discovering a book in person and then buying it online. It's also a brag about Amazon's underlying technology and a passive threat to other retailers: join or perish.

When the "farm-to-table" movement jumped from Berkeley to Brooklyn, pioneering chefs purged our palates of seasons-be-damned ingredients shipped in from around the world in favor of delicious local food that celebrated the farms that brought it into being. The tag-along design aesthetic mimicked its ideological values of simplicity and authenticity by stripping away the decorative excesses of restaurants past and replacing them with unupholstered evocations of the farmhouse.
