Episode 50: Post-Human Scale: Designing Architecture for Bodies We’ve Never Called “Standard”

Architecture has always been built around an “average” body—but that body was never real. In this episode of AI Ignited, host Elif Baser speaks with Elif Deveci about Post-Human Scale: an AI-informed approach to architecture that designs for bodies shaped by disability, aging, medical augmentation, climate stress, and difference.Rather than treating accessibility as an afterthought, this conversation reframes variability as the baseline. Drawing from disability studies, biomedical research, and ethical AI design, the episode explores how spaces can anticipate diverse ways of moving, resting, sensing, and existing—without surveillance or stigma.This isn’t speculative sci-fi. It’s a call to design buildings that expect us all. Less average and more possible.
