Abstract

This article explores the limited adoption of Human-centered design (HCD) in China, particularly in architecture, despite its global acceptance. Through case studies of human-centered interior design, the study identifies reasons for the slow adoption and provides recommendations to promote HCD acceptance among the public and local companies. The research involves surveying 100 Chinese consumers and interviewing 20 architects in Jiangsu province, China, to gain insights into the factors influencing HCD application in interior design for housing.
