DESIGN DYNAMICS
FOR HUMAN-CENTERED ENVIRONMENTS

The Integrative Prevention through Design Lab is embedded in the Florida Institute of Built Environment Resilience. It investigates ways to reduce hazards to human health and well-being through system resilience planning for dynamic built environments. Dr. Lisa Sundahl Platt heads the research team. It currently includes a select group of DCP Graduate Research Assistants with research interests in applying AI, Human Factors, and Systems Science methodologies to investigating safety-critical environments. Presently the lab's research efforts are focused on improving infection prevention through strategic environmental interventions, using socioecological scenario models for healthy infrastructure planning, and using computational design thinking for environmental predesign.
