dc.description.abstractThis paper makes an argument for a novel type of responsive architecture, incorporating affective computing[13], where user affect (emotion) becomes a consideration in the management of real-time environmental response. Affect is seen as a necessary component in certain architectural contexts, notably in healthcare environments, where concerns of personenvironment fit, and the contribution to wellbeing made by congruent and user-centred design are paramount. The response generated to contextualised real-time sensing of the user can enable continuous remodelling of environmental adaptation to meet changing user needs. The positioning of the user at the centre of the model in this fashion paves the way for the emergence of an architecture which constitutes an Open Work in the sense described by Eco, where the user, through sensor-enabled response, becomes intimately involved in design outcomes[4].en
