This research project looks to introduce a new class of intelligent engineered systems: dynamic built environments that engage in continuous, bidirectional interaction with occupants to monitor, interpret, and respond to their mental states. Modern workplaces frequently influence how individuals feel and react, impacting their cognitive and emotional well-being — manifesting as stress, cognitive overload, and distraction — which can detract from personal well-being, productivity, and long-term health. A key adaptive feature of these environments is movable partitions, allowing for on-demand reconfiguration of physical workspaces to minimize distractions and enhance sustained focus. These interactive, dynamic responses replace the static nature of traditional workplaces, fostering intuitive and responsive settings that alleviate mental strain while promoting cognitive recovery and processing. Over time, the building develops personalized patterns of response through human-environment co-adaptation, creating a feedback loop that encourages long-term improvements in attention, cognitive capacity, and emotional well-being. This initiative contributes to national priorities concerning health and productivity, while also advancing broader educational and public engagement in human-centered design. This project intends to enhance foundational knowledge in adaptive collaboration between humans and intelligent engineered systems by facilitating real-time, bidirectional interaction
