This paper begins with the deceptively simple question of what architecture can learn from aviation psychology and what aviation psychology can learn from architectural design. In the process, I hope to explore new ways for research to “articulate architecture’s disciplinary core while contributing to its evolution.” The experience of flying a plane and the aviation industry’s adaptation to that affective condition of sensory intensity, high emotional stakes, and also boredom / monitoring provide an example that is both similar and different from the artistic modes that have informed the last fifteen years of design’s interest in gesture, empathy, and affect.
