Spatial and Architectural Cognition Lab

We study how people perceive, remember, and move through buildings and urban environments, and how new technologies reshape those experiences. Our methods combine virtual reality, eye-tracking, Bayesian statistics, and spatial computation in order to keep experimental setups immersive, realistic, and generalisable.

We want to bring psychological evidence into architectural design. SPARC’s mission is to develop human-centered AI for architecture: computational models, indices, and metrics grounded in psychological evidence and usable in architectural practice. Guided by the principles of use-inspired basic research, we focus on those real-world problems that push the boundaries of existing methods and theories.
