Interactive Architecture for Children: Emotion-Based Design

This course explores emotion-driven, interactive architecture designed to engage and support children, particularly those with emotional or behavioural challenges. Based on an individuality-oriented framework, participants will learn to create adaptable spaces that respond to the unique emotional states of children. By incorporating real-time emotion recognition through body tracking and adaptive spatial configurations, architects and designers can tailor environments that foster comfort, engagement, and therapeutic value. The course covers the design and implementation of responsive architectural elements that adjust based on emotional cues, offering a practical foundation for building spaces that cater to diverse emotional needs in educational and therapeutic settings.

Key Areas Covered:

• Emotion Recognition Systems in Architecture: Techniques for integrating emotion-tracking technology in spatial design.
• Adaptive Space Design for Children: Creating flexible spaces that respond to emotional states.
• Individuality-Oriented Interactive Systems: Developing designs that prioritize individual emotional responses.
• Practical Applications in Schools and Therapy Centers: Implementing interactive architecture in supportive environments.
• Real-Time Body Tracking and Data Integration: Leveraging technology to inform spatial adjustments.
