HECIA — an atlas of how humans and habitats interact

Habitat design knowledge is scattered across decades of standards, studies, and lessons learned. A designer deciding on lighting, volume, or layout has no single place to see how that choice will actually affect the crew.

Turn that fragmented evidence into a structured, navigable reference that connects a design variable to its human outcome.

We organized crew-health and human-factors evidence into a mapped framework — the Human-Environment Compatibility Interaction Atlas — linking environmental variables to measurable human responses so designers and reviewers can trace cause and effect at the design table.

A research tool that makes decades of scattered literature usable during habitat design and review, rather than after.
