Assist.Prof.Dr. Gath-Morad will be delivering a talk at “Getting Lost in Building”, a UCL EAST event
A day of talks addressing how we can build better buildings using the neuroscience of mental mapping to inform architects.
Designing affective workplace environments: New paper published in Building & Environment
Our findings indicate that higher partitions are associated with greater perceived safety and reduced distractions, while curved contours are perceived as more aesthetically pleasing and enjoyable compared to angular designs. The Bürolandschaft typology significantly enhances perceived safety and interaction.

Experiments as Code and its application to VR studies in human-building interaction
Assistant Prof. Dr. Michal Gath-Morad and colleagues from ETH Zurich introduce Experiments As Code (ExaC), a novel platform featured in Nature Scientific Reports, revolutionising behavioural research by offering a reproducible, auditable, and scalable framework for conducting behaviour experiments in VR.
Exploring the Role of Strategic Visibility on Wayfinding in Complex Multilevel Buildings.
Assistant Prof. Dr. Michal Gath-Morad and colleagues present findings on the impact of strategic visibility on wayfinding behavior in multilevel buildings, highlighting its role in promoting efficient navigation and shaping wayfinding strategies, with implications for inclusive built environments.
CCA and colleagues Awarded with a New Living Lab Grant From Cambridge Zero
The project tackles energy wastage in the Cambridge estate by deploying IoT sensors, behavior mapping apps, and user-experience surveys to understand and address excessive energy consumption amidst low occupancy due to post-pandemic work patterns.
