Design & Computation Arts Speaker Series featuring Dr. Carolina Espinoza Sanhueza. This lecture will present insights from research projects focused on improving indoor environmental quality in Northern localities. Dr. Espinoza Sanhueza is an architect, researcher, and educator dedicated to creating sustainable, carbon-neutral environments that place human well-being at their core. Her work integrates architectural design with environmental performance, using building parameters, light quality, indoor air quality, and thermal comfort, as levers for enhancing occupant health and spatial experience, specifically in Northern climates. Her research advances simulation-based methods, immersive visualization, and post-occupancy evaluation to support evidence-based design decision-making.
