“…A different approach entails adopting adaptive workplace management approaches to meet dynamic occupant needs and prevent costly, time-consuming, and environmentally damaging building redesigns [3]. This latter solution aims to foster mutual alignment between buildings and occupants to maximize the use of existing space resources while also enhancing people's comfort and productivity [4]. The need for such an alignment has been accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic, which introduced unprecedented flexibility demand to accommodate varying occupancy and workstyle needs of individuals and organizations, especially in working and learning environments [5][6][7].…”

“…Recent developments in information and communication technology (ICT) have been progressively introduced into the fabric of the built environments to inform management strategies in buildings [4,8] and cities [9]. Rather than static containers, buildings are progressively becoming 'active partners' that are aware of and responsive to the needs and preferences of their human inhabitants and respond accordingly to enhance their health and performance [10].…”

The increased uptake of information and communication technologies (ICTs) is fostering the development of responsive buildings that are aware of and respond to human needs. Current approaches mainly focus on adapting building systems to enhance people’s comfort and energy performance. Little is known about how responsive buildings can inform human behavior adaptability to meet the diverse needs of individuals and organizations within built environments. This study recorded the outcomes of six multi-agent simulation projects exploring human behavior adaptability in different workplace settings. The results have been analyzed through the lenses of ‘place’ theory to extrapolate a framework for human behavior adaptability, jointly considering the characteristics of the spaces, the people that inhabit them, and their activities. This framework provides analytical insights on the design and development of adaptability strategies that consider non-linear interactions and dependencies between the characteristics of the built environment, the needs of the inhabitants, and the goals of organizations.

“…The relationship between local people and AI systems is a feedback loop, which is similar to the concept that human interactions with architectural infrastructure are a continuous adaptation process that spans over long periods of time. 34 When embedded in the social context, AI systems interact with citizens daily as community infrastructure. Communities are dynamic and frequently evolve their agenda to adapt to social context changes.…”
