Episode 5 - Human-Centered Technology in Campus Design - A Conversation with Paul Chavez

In this episode, we explore the critical importance of the intersection of human experience design and technology in educational environments.

We discuss how buildings can serve as extensions of human capabilities, the importance of adapting learning spaces for digital natives, and the need for holistic technology integration in campus design.

Our conversation also touches on sustainability, the risks of siloed planning, and the potential impact of emerging technologies like AR on education.

Key takeaways include:

• Experience design is about solving user problems, not just technology.
• Buildings should be seen as extensions of human capabilities.
• Different learning environments foster different types of thinking.
