What if certain aspects of architectural design could be personalized for occupants? Such interactive architecture could reach out to people in different ways so environment would heighten experience for each individual user.

Personalizing certain aspects of architectural experience would make architectural design more intuitive for occupants. To make this work, architectural sensors could receive occupant information from everyday objects used by the occupant. In turn, architecture would have a type of designed interface that occupants would interact with as they inhabit a building. To do this, some architecture interface design considerations should include the following:

• occupant personal goals

• ease of interaction within daily work flow and activity

• technical expertise of occupant for interaction

• occupant style or preference

 As more and more technology becomes embedded within architecture, there will be greater chance for personalization – just remember that occupant goals should always be honored.
