After extensive pre-testing, two standardized photographic stimulus sets were created and used during the experiment, controlling for variables such as novelty, complexity, pleasantness, and the number and density of interior architectural elements. Each stimulus set contained equal numbers of photographs with biomorphic elements and photographs with non-biomorphic elements.

Next, subjects viewed the second stimulus set, and for each photograph indicated whether the image was one they had seen or whether it was new. Visual attention for each photograph was monitored using eye-tracking technology, and subjects also rated the pleasantness of each environment. The data were analyzed to test for the relative strength of memorability between environments with biomorphic elements and non-biomorphic elements, as well as the links between recognition memory, visual attention, and pleasantness.

Over the years, we witnessed developments in workplace design mostly resulting from technological advancements and organizational strategies that have been triggered by employee efficiency and productivity concerns together with the aim of cutting down facility costs (Harrison et al., <span>2004</span>; Parker, <span>2016</span>). The transformation from traditional to activity-based offices has followed a similar trajectory.</p><p>Activity-based offices have been the uprising workplace design strategy since its early application in technology and consultancy firms in the 1990s (Sachs, <span>1995</span>). Activity-based offices provide different workstations for diverse work tasks (Wohlers & Hertel, <span>2017</span>). The purpose of an activity-based office is to reduce rental and building costs (Haapakangas et al., <span>2018</span>) while maintaining employee satisfaction and growth in productivity with workplace designs that target increased interaction among employees (Appel-Meulenbroek et al., <span>2011</span>). This type of workplace design typically consists of unassigned workstations on a floor plan tailored to host different activities including collaborative work (e.g., meeting rooms, hubs, team benches), relaxation and socialization (e.g., break-out rooms, lounge corners, cafès), and concentration (e.g., cubicles, quiet rooms). Because employees do not have assigned desks, this requires the implementation of “clean desk policies” meaning no one can leave personal belongings, and they must keep the workstation that they use for the day, clean. These types of office strategies are cost-effective, especially for organizations where employees can also work elsewhere. Studies by Laing (<span>2013</span>) and Oseland et al. (<span>2013</span>) showed that organizations can cut costs if they keep the “desk-share ratio,” which is the ratio of desk space to the number of employees, between 50% to 70%.</p><p>This approach to workplace design has been aggressively promoted due to a non-hierarchical working environment, while enabling communication and collaboration among employees of all levels (Engelen et al., <span>2019</span>; Wohlers et al., <span>2019</span>) with the practices of clean desk policy the trend. On the other hand, key findings from activity-based office research are pointing to issues related to poor indoor environmental quality (Candido et al., <span>2019</span>), privacy, personal control, territoriality, and organizational commitment (Elsbach & Pratt, <span>2007</span>; Göçer et al., <span>2019</span>).</p><p>Until COVID-19, the focus on activity-based office designs was to address these negative issues.

In the 1600s, René Descartes described a dualism between the brain and the mind and, to this day, many continue to believe that the mind cannot be studied or measured. However, over the millennia that followed Descartes ’ writing, the development of electrophysiological and imaging techniques have revealed that the brain can be considered the organ that produces the mind. Wearable, wireless, and computational techniques have developed that allow us to study the brain ’ s form (neuroanatomy) as well as its function (neurophysiology) in alert subjects, awake patients, and participants in real-world settings. With the bene fi t of such methods, long-held myths about the mind and brain can be explored using carefully controlled studies in laboratories and in real pro-jects. In studios, students and scholars of design now deploy multiple methods to track the brain ’ s and body ’ s responses as we conceive of, experience, and test design outcomes in pre-and post-occupancy studies. The brain, mind, and body may thus be considered together in a new framework that no longer compares the neurons of the brain to a hard-wired computer, but rather an integrated dynamic system that changes with the experience of design. Neuroscience offers new means to explore the in fl uence of design while planning, creating, and evaluating a space.

Forty million people live in poverty in the United States, 18.5 million in extreme poverty, and 5.3 million live in third-world conditions of absolute poverty (Human Rights Council, Philip Alston, <span>2018</span>). Unfortunately, health issues are prominent among the poor as the recent pandemic has solidified the contrast between the vulnerable versus the wealthy in terms of resilience to a health crisis and access to health care. The five key areas identified as social determinants of health are economic stability, education, community and social context, health care system, food, and neighborhood and the physical environment (World Health Organization, <span>2010</span>; see Figure 1). This puts interior designers in a key position to potentially change the trajectory of persons living in poverty and health issues related to the built environment.</p><p>Healthy housing has long been an environmental justice issue. Low access to quality food, chronic illness, and poor housing conditions are endemic to those living in poverty. According to the Department of Housing and Urban Development, 44.7% of low-income residents receiving no assistance and living in the South in rental households experience housing problems with at least 1 of the following: incomplete kitchen and plumbing facilities, more than 1 person per room, and a cost burden greater than 30% for housing expenses. Additionally, 54.1% of very low-income rental households experience at least 1 of 4 severe housing problems, with cost burdens that are greater than 50% for housing expenses (U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development, <span>2019</span>). Socioeconomic status is a factor leading to “poor quality and inadequate housing which contributes to health problems such as chronic diseases and injuries, and can have harmful effects on childhood development. Poor indoor air quality, lead paint, and other hazards often coexist in homes, placing children and families at great risk for multiple health problems” (Braveman et al., <span>2011</span>, para. 2).</p><p>These demographics clearly illustrate the numerous issues associated with poverty.
