Designers should ask themselves if their proposed designs meet goals for human performance, health and wellness, and social participation. If not, what universal design feature can they add to ensure a space can work for people of all ages? After all, we're all aging all the time, so our spaces should reflect that, not pretend that we'll be young forever.

Employees just worked through the pain for a while. But over two years, from 2012 to 2014, their headaches became migraines, accompanied by burning eyes and scratchy throats. Some people even said they could taste metal in the air.

Architects know best, as they often claim. With conviction, they're sure certain details will make a space more hospitable, more beautiful, more preferable, and more enjoyable. There's rarely any empirical evidence to back up those assertions. But an emerging field of research is now uncovering and quantifying our psychological response to buildings: cognitive architecture. The hope is that by better understanding through science what exactly it is people like or dislike about our built environment, designers can truly improve it.

If you know one office chair by name, it's probably the Aeron. Released in 1994, its radical, high-tech exoskeleton design was a sensation, and the chair went on to become that rare piece of furniture to emerge as a pop-culture signifier. In 1995 it appeared as the lone piece of set decoration in a Levi Strauss & Co. Super Bowl commercial; later, it served as a plot point in an episode of Will & Grace.
