“…During five decades of research, it proposed how dynamic adaptation has the potential to evoke poetic experiences that are as compelling as those of its 'static' counterpart [56]. These experiences could unfold through improvisational [67] and bidirectional [35,80] conversations between the adaptive system and its occupants, in which such system should behave in patterns that could be understood [103] or convey recognisable personality traits [1,40]. Moreover, the field of evidencebased design [96] proved that the built environment can affect human health and well-being [76] and have longer-term implications that benefit the quality of life [89].…”

Responsive architecture envisions the built environment to adapt to the changing needs of its occupants dynamically. Although it is increasingly feasible to move space-defining objects like room dividers by mobile robots, little is known about how or when such spatial adaptations should occur. We therefore measured the experience of 26 occupants while they performed six different activities inside an office breakout room that was being adapted by a robotically moving wall in either a reactive or proactive way. Based on these empirical findings, we propose how autonomous spatial adaptation should primarily aim to balance the spatial, situational and subjective qualities of the resulting sense of place. We also define eight distinct design recommendations that exploit the unique affordances of spatial adaptation. By asserting that future advances in human-building interaction (HBI) should be based on creating appropriate places rather than controlling functional spaces, we foresee how responsive architecture might become as compelling as its static counterpart.

“…However, this leaves prominent research gaps in understanding people's engagement with physical and ambient aspects of the lived domestic workplace, the challenges they raise for affective and physical wellbeing of remote workers, and the opportunities for diverse digital feedback mechanisms-such as wearable mediated feedback-to support them. Collecting such data can provide the grounds for designing novel ambient technologies to support the wellbeing of remote workers under the term "ambient homeworkspaces," drawing upon and contributing to the research fields of Ambient (Intelligent) Spaces (Pousman and Stasko, 2006;Bakker et al, 2016;Yannoudes, 2016), HBI (Dalton, 2016;Jäger, 2017;Nembrini et al, 2017;Schnädelbach and Kirk, 2019) and Human-AI interaction (Alavi et al, 2016;Alavi et al, 2020) within the built environment.…”

“…Highly relevant to workplace needs, various types of ambient systems (Weiser and Brown, 1995;Ludden and Meekhof, 2016) can present information in the periphery without distracting or burdening the users, helping in prioritisation and cognitive easing (Pousman and Stasko, 2006;Caraban et al, 2019). Examples of ambient systems include adaptive architectures -subtle changes in an architectural space (Schnädelbach et al, 2012;Dalton, 2016;Yannoudes, 2016;Nabil et al, 2017a,b;Jäger, 2017;Bader et al, 2019;Schnädelbach and Kirk, 2019), connected sensing objects -IoT (Bittner et al, 2019), or light feedback (Fortmann et al, 2013;Davis et al, 2016;Pereira et al, 2016). Focusing on ambient technology research for the workplace, we briefly highlight examples from HBI, HCI and Ubicomp literature.…”

As the COVID-19 pandemic has forced many to work remotely from home, collaborating solely through digital technologies, a growing population of remote home workers are faced with profound wellbeing challenges. Passive sensing devices and ambient feedback have great potential to support the wellbeing of the remote workers, but there is a lack of background and understanding of the domestic workplace in terms of physical and affective dimensions and challenges to wellbeing. There are profound research gaps on wellbeing in the domestic workplace, with the current push for remote home and hybrid working making this topic timely. To address these gaps and shape a starting point for an “ambient workspaces” agenda, we conducted an exploratory study to map physical and affective aspects of working from home. The study involved both qualitative and quantitative measures of occupant experience, including sensor wristbands, and a custom web application for self-reporting mood and aspects of the environment. It included 13 participants for a period of 4 weeks, during a period of exclusive home working. Based on quantitative and qualitative analysis, our study addresses wellbeing challenges of the domestic workplace, establishes correlations between mood and physical aspects, and discusses the impact of feedback mechanisms in the domestic workplace on the behavior of remote workers. Insights from these observations are then used to inform a future design agenda for ambient technologies that supports the wellbeing of remote workers; addressing the design opportunities for ambient interventions in domestic workspaces. This work offers three contributions: 1) qualitatively and quantitatively informed understandings of the experiences of home-workers; 2) a future design agenda for “ambient home workspaces”; and 3) we propose three design concepts for ambient feedback and human–AI interactions in the built environment, to illustrate the utility of the design agenda.
