All things considered it's been a remarkable summer. Remarkably hot, yes, but still remarkable. I haven't really taken a full break, this summer, but I have taken a lot of half days off work: I used our dog as an excuse to spend a lot more time in the mountains that usual, walking in the [ ]
If you're interested in designing for human experience, neuroarchitecture or other well-being related design fields, the Enlivened Design team would love to meet with you at Autodesk University 2026! (I've posted a quick video summarising some of the below information on LinkedIn.) We currently have three activities planned - although this may expand as we [ ]
During my recent travels I managed to be away for a couple of anniversaries. My youngest child turned 17, and this blog turned 20. A definite "how did that happen?" on both fronts. So yes, on June 19th, 2006, I posted for the first time to "Through the Interface". It was actually an experiment that [ ]
Just 24 hours after getting back from my trip to Toronto and Banff, I was heading back to Zürich for a flight across to London. It was really hot, so I waited in the tunnel at my local station for a good 10 minutes before heading up to the platform. The trains in Switzerland are [ ]
At the end of the last post, Andrew Sonta and I had managed to arrive (slightly delayed) in Calgary, missing our bus and having to wait 2 hours for the next one. After grabbing dinner at the airport, we were able to take the last bus of the night, leaving at 10:30pm. We eventually arrived [ ]
Last week ended up being a really good week, in many ways. My research team had our bi-annual feedback session with our leadership team, which I feel went very well, and the day after my daughter performed at Festi'Neuch. I was so busy worrying about the former that by the time the latter happened I [ ]
I posted this today on LinkedIn. I'm having to rethink my approach to using this platform. Next week marks 20 years of my "Through the Interface" blog, but lately my standard approach of posting links to my content - with a few images - is leading to fewer and fewer people seeing my posts, at [ ]
This is really exciting: for the first time, Autodesk Research - and specifically the Enlivened Design team - will be participating in the London Festival of Architecture, hosting a workshop at our office in Covent Garden on Friday June 26th, 2026. The LFA kicked off this week and runs through the month of June. This [ ]
In a few weeks I'll be heading back across to Canada for several meetings. During the week of June 15th I'll be in Toronto for internal meetings, then I'll fly across to Calgary (somewhere I haven't been since the early 2000s) on my way to Banff to participate in the SocialSys'26 workshop ahead of the [ ]
Here's the last in a fascinating series of guest posts by Patrick Nadeau. It's worth saying, at this stage, that this series reflects Patrick's own experience with AI, and is not necessarily representative of the views of his or my employer. We're all on a journey together, and voices like Patrick's are important to make [ ]
