ABSTRACT

HULIS, short for human living system, was the first Kansei engineering system. Until its introduction, I saw many conflicts between homeowners and builders. For example, the wallpaper that the owner had in mind, based on a small sample, was totally different from the actual wall paper provided. The architect did not really make an effort to fulfill the owner’s desire. I created a system that translates the consumer’s (owner’s) Kansei to a house design. That is HULIS.
