Abstract

This presentation examines sustainability in architecture and design within the context of individual cognition and organizational culture. First, sustainability and sustainable design of the built environment (e.g., office environments) ideally integrate with occupant-centered design. Second, aligning sustainable
design (long-term stewardship of the environment) with optimizing human experience (short-term value of design) ensures its acceptance by users and its value to organizations. Third, research evidence supports the human and organizational value of occupant-centered, sustainable design. Finally, embedding sustainable values within corporate culture ensures its endurance and preservation due to supportive
behaviors emanating largely from automatic processes in response to environmental cues (e.g., nudge theory).
