I recently spent several hours doing research at the Institute for Human Centered Design in Boston. I had heard about IHCD at a Build Boston seminar that presented the blending of the building life cycle with the human life cycle. The library (a branch of the Boston public library system) at the institute is open to anyone along with a retail shop selling items of unique design answering the call of function for all.
The institute promotes the idea of design in all things to be responsive to human diversity. The medium can be architecture, interior design, industrial design, landscape architecture, and information design. They are involved in collaborative relationships around the world.
