Questioning Human-Centered Design: Pavels Hedström on the '10 Dogmas' Podcast

Pavels Hedström from Inxects critiques human-centered design and explores biocentric alternatives in architecture. Tune in to the third episode of 10 Dogmas, a podcast that rethinks architectural norms.

October 4, 2024

For years, human-centered design has been regarded as the ideal approach to problem-solving within design and architecture. But in a world facing complex environmental and social challenges, is it time to consider a new paradigm? Could a multi-centered or biocentric perspective better address the needs of our shared environment?


Join Pavels Hedström from the studio Inxects as he explores the limitations of human-centered design and the potential of a biocentric approach in architecture. In this thought-provoking episode, we delve into:

  • The value of adopting a biocentric mindset in design.
  • The tension between interspecies living and domestication.
  • Strategies for creating architecture that responds to the landscapes of the capitalocene.

This episode is part of 10 Dogmas, a 10-part podcast series that challenges the status quo of architectural thought. Produced by CAFx in collaboration with VELUX's Build for Life initiative, the series invites ten leading architectural studios to critically examine ten core dogmas currently shaping architectural practice.
