It&#8217;s true that I always felt something was off during university, that I couldn&#8217;t quite relate, that I was not made for that way of doing things. But maybe I was made for architecture, but not in the way they told me that I should do it.</p><p>Thanks for reading Building Lab!

But with a different shape, that took me a few years to find. I guess little moments shaped my vision. From that first encounter, to my last year of architecture school, where I found Jan Gehl, an architect who spent years in Italy watching how people use public spaces.</p><p>To the present moment. How can we design spaces without actually thinking about the ones that will live, play, work, learn in them? This question gained roots in my head, and made me look, learn, read, research.</p><p>Spaces affect how we feel: physically, mentally, emotionally. The air, the temperature, the light. But also the colours, the objects, the way a room is organised. It&#8217;s not mystical. It&#8217;s documented, researched, real.</p><p><strong>Behestia</strong> exists to be the translator. To show you what your space is doing to you right now.</p><p>Today I invite you to have a look.

But two months in, I realised I don&#8217;t have the temperament to code all day or manage data every week. What I really wanted was to build something, and fortunately we live in this moment where you don&#8217;t need to become a developer to create.</p><p>So I dove into AI tools, which sounds straightforward until you realize there are hundreds of them, each promising to be exactly what you need. The abundance is both liberating and paralysing - you can prototype anything, but you can also spend weeks just choosing your stack. I went with what seemed logical: V0 for the website, Vercel for deployment, Supabase and Railway for the backend pieces, Claude for intelligence.</p><p>Since the idea was still abstract in my head, and having never done this before, I started with what I now recognise as my natural approach - a messy all-at-the-same-time method. Create a landing page without a product, use Claude to think about the end product without starting anything, explore an MVP without knowing how or what it should be. Go back and forth between grand visions of what this could become and the immediate reality of &#8216;but what does the first screen actually look like?&#8217; Map the metrics without knowing how to measure them, design user flows for products that don&#8217;t exist yet, imagine the business model while still figuring out the core value proposition.</p><p>V0 seemed perfect for someone visual like me who needed to see ideas taking shape. I jumped in, burned through the free trial in about an hour, immediately subscribed to monthly credits, and kept building. I was getting somewhere with a workspace-focused landing page when V0 started behaving strangely. It would make changes that broke the logic we&#8217;d established, create versions I couldn&#8217;t preview, lose track of what we were building. I actually had to request a credit refund because the tool was malfunctioning</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!3SmO!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8d8d9140-639a-4824-aff0-00d086588dd3_1330x846.png" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!3SmO!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8d8d9140-639a-4824-aff0-00d086588dd3_1330x846.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!3SmO!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8d8d9140-639a-4824-aff0-00d086588dd3_1330x846.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!3SmO!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8d8d9140-639a-4824-aff0-00d086588dd3_1330x846.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!3SmO!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8d8d9140-639a-4824-aff0-00d086588dd3_1330x846.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!3SmO!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8d8d9140-639a-4824-aff0-00d086588dd3_1330x846.png" width="1330" height="846" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/8d8d9140-639a-4824-aff0-00d086588dd3_1330x846.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:846,&quot;width&quot;:1330,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:975251,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:false,&quot;topImage&quot;:true,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:&quot;https://behestialab.substack.com/i/194055257?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8d8d9140-639a-4824-aff0-00d086588dd3_1330x846.png&quot;,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" title="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!3SmO!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8d8d9140-639a-4824-aff0-00d086588dd3_1330x846.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!3SmO!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8d8d9140-639a-4824-aff0-00d086588dd3_1330x846.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!3SmO!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8d8d9140-639a-4824-aff0-00d086588dd3_1330x846.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!3SmO!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8d8d9140-639a-4824-aff0-00d086588dd3_1330x846.png 1456w" sizes="100vw" fetchpriority="high"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg role="img" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><title></title><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a></figure></div><p style="text-align: center;"><em>Behestia screenshot built on V0 -

I mapped a strategy with Claude to be more deliberate with every prompt, focused on homes instead of workplaces, and it worked better. But I still ran out of credits before finishing, which led to this moment of clarity: why am I fighting V0 when it&#8217;s just using Claude anyway? I downloaded the code, switched to Claude Code in VS Code, and simplified everything down to Claude + Claude Code + Vercel. Done. Well, almost done - I&#8217;d lose V0&#8217;s instant visual previews, but I&#8217;d gain full control over the code.

When you&#8217;re limited - on credits, on tools, on complexity - you stop chasing perfect solutions and start focusing on what actually matters. You don&#8217;t need elaborate tech stacks or to follow what everyone else is building. Sometimes not knowing the &#8220;right&#8221; way becomes an advantage because you find approaches that work better for your specific situation.</p><p>But the technical journey was only half of what was evolving. While wrestling with platforms and credits, I kept thinking about what this should actually feel like to use. Sure, the MVP would measure air quality, CO2, humidity, temperature, light, PM2.5 - the standard metrics that sensors already track. But I didn&#8217;t want another app that shows you numbers without context. There&#8217;s a huge difference between knowing your CO2 is at 900ppm and understanding why your focus disappeared at 3 PM.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!GH5C!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F930528f1-1da5-4b4f-b6fd-0daba8317874_929x858.png" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!GH5C!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F930528f1-1da5-4b4f-b6fd-0daba8317874_929x858.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!GH5C!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F930528f1-1da5-4b4f-b6fd-0daba8317874_929x858.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!GH5C!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F930528f1-1da5-4b4f-b6fd-0daba8317874_929x858.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!GH5C!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F930528f1-1da5-4b4f-b6fd-0daba8317874_929x858.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!GH5C!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F930528f1-1da5-4b4f-b6fd-0daba8317874_929x858.png" width="929" height="858" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/930528f1-1da5-4b4f-b6fd-0daba8317874_929x858.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:858,&quot;width&quot;:929,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:159002,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:&quot;https://behestialab.substack.com/i/194055257?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F930528f1-1da5-4b4f-b6fd-0daba8317874_929x858.png&quot;,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" title="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!GH5C!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F930528f1-1da5-4b4f-b6fd-0daba8317874_929x858.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!GH5C!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F930528f1-1da5-4b4f-b6fd-0daba8317874_929x858.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!GH5C!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F930528f1-1da5-4b4f-b6fd-0daba8317874_929x858.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!GH5C!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F930528f1-1da5-4b4f-b6fd-0daba8317874_929x858.png 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg role="img" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><title></title><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a></figure></div><p style="text-align: center;"><em>Behestia screenshot built on V0 -

That led me to biomimetic design approaches, this idea of technology that mirrors natural communication patterns.</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!SOhn!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F6bf5a178-b27b-40c8-bb15-3ee7a17d463a_928x827.png" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!SOhn!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F6bf5a178-b27b-40c8-bb15-3ee7a17d463a_928x827.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!SOhn!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F6bf5a178-b27b-40c8-bb15-3ee7a17d463a_928x827.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!SOhn!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F6bf5a178-b27b-40c8-bb15-3ee7a17d463a_928x827.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!SOhn!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F6bf5a178-b27b-40c8-bb15-3ee7a17d463a_928x827.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!SOhn!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F6bf5a178-b27b-40c8-bb15-3ee7a17d463a_928x827.png" width="928" height="827" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/6bf5a178-b27b-40c8-bb15-3ee7a17d463a_928x827.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:827,&quot;width&quot;:928,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:129990,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:null,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:&quot;https://behestialab.substack.com/i/194055257?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F6bf5a178-b27b-40c8-bb15-3ee7a17d463a_928x827.png&quot;,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" title="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!SOhn!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F6bf5a178-b27b-40c8-bb15-3ee7a17d463a_928x827.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!SOhn!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F6bf5a178-b27b-40c8-bb15-3ee7a17d463a_928x827.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!SOhn!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F6bf5a178-b27b-40c8-bb15-3ee7a17d463a_928x827.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!SOhn!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F6bf5a178-b27b-40c8-bb15-3ee7a17d463a_928x827.png 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div class="image-link-expand"><div class="pencraft pc-display-flex pc-gap-8 pc-reset"><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container restack-image"><svg role="img" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 20 20" fill="none" stroke-width="1.5" stroke="var(--color-fg-primary)" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg"><g><title></title><path d="M2.53001 7.81595C3.49179 4.73911 6.43281 2.5 9.91173 2.5C13.1684 2.5 15.9537 4.46214 17.0852 7.23684L17.6179 8.67647M17.6179 8.67647L18.5002 4.26471M17.6179 8.67647L13.6473 6.91176M17.4995 12.1841C16.5378 15.2609 13.5967 17.5 10.1178 17.5C6.86118 17.5 4.07589 15.5379 2.94432 12.7632L2.41165 11.3235M2.41165 11.3235L1.5293 15.7353M2.41165 11.3235L6.38224 13.0882"></path></g></svg></button><button tabindex="0" type="button" class="pencraft pc-reset pencraft icon-container view-image"><svg xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg" width="20" height="20" viewBox="0 0 24 24" fill="none" stroke="currentColor" stroke-width="2" stroke-linecap="round" stroke-linejoin="round" class="lucide lucide-maximize2 lucide-maximize-2"><polyline points="15 3 21 3 21 9"></polyline><polyline points="9 21 3 21 3 15"></polyline><line x1="21" x2="14" y1="3" y2="10"></line><line x1="3" x2="10" y1="21" y2="14"></line></svg></button></div></div></div></a></figure></div><p style="text-align: center;"><em>Behestia screenshot built on V0 -

processo, ao tentar encaix&#225;-la nos espa&#231;os de escrit&#243;rio como existem hoje, a ideia foi-se desfazendo. A sa&#250;de saiu. O bem-estar ficou em segundo plano.</p><p>O foco desviou-se para m&#233;tricas ambientais, compliance, legislativas europeias. Coisas importantes, mas que n&#227;o eram o que eu queria construir. Quando olhei para o que tinha nas m&#227;os, j&#225; n&#227;o reconhecia a ideia inicial.</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://inesviana.substack.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe now&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:&quot;button-wrapper&quot;}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary button-wrapper" href="https://inesviana.substack.com/subscribe?"><span>Subscribe now</span></a></p><h4><strong>E isto abriu uma nova quest&#227;o.

As pessoas chegam com os seus Apple Watch, WHOOP, Oura Rings, Garmin, a monitorizar tudo - frequ&#234;ncia card&#237;aca, calorias, VO&#8322; max - mas o ambiente onde est&#227;o a fazer esfor&#231;o f&#237;sico fica esquecido. O ar, a temperatura, a humidade durante o treino.</p><p>E acreditem que h&#225; gin&#225;sios, demasiados gin&#225;sios, com problemas de humidade, cheios de mofo. &#201; o contra senso total: vais para um s&#237;tio melhorar a tua sa&#250;de, e est&#225;s literalmente a abrir o pulm&#227;o ao m&#225;ximo num dos ambientes interiores menos saud&#225;veis que frequentas.</p><p>Um spa controla temperatura e humidade por intui&#231;&#227;o e experi&#234;ncia acumulada. Sabe que a sauna deve estar a X graus, que a sala de relaxamento precisa de determinadas condi&#231;&#245;es. Mas n&#227;o tem dados que confirmem se essas condi&#231;&#245;es est&#227;o realmente a funcionar como deviam, se est&#227;o alinhadas com o prop&#243;sito de regenera&#231;&#227;o que vende.</p><p>Um hotel cinco estrelas cobra centenas de euros pela experi&#234;ncia. Mas n&#227;o tem forma de garantir que o quarto 312 tem as condi&#231;&#245;es para que o h&#243;spede descanse como promete no website.</p><p>E depois temos as nossas casas.</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://inesviana.substack.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe now&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:&quot;button-wrapper&quot;}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary button-wrapper" href="https://inesviana.substack.com/subscribe?"><span>Subscribe now</span></a></p><blockquote><p>Think of everything you do to lead a healthy lifestyle. You may pay attention to what you eat and how much you exercise. But have you ever seriously given much thought to the one place in the world where you spend 1/3 of your life?</p></blockquote><p>Passamos 1/3 da nossa vida no quarto... 35% dos adultos reportam sono insuficiente... Mas quantos alguma vez mediram a qualidade do ar do quarto onde tentam dormir? Corpos fechados durante oito horas, CO&#8322; a acumular, humidade, ventila&#231;&#227;o zero. &#201; o espa&#231;o onde vais para recuperar, e &#233; onde as condi&#231;&#245;es ambientais podem estar piores.</p><p>Isto fez-me pensar na hist&#243;ria do WHOOP. N&#227;o come&#231;aram a tentar convencer tudo e todos de que monitorizar sa&#250;de fazia sentido. Focaram-se em atletas, pessoas que j&#225; estavam focadas na sua performance, recupera&#231;&#227;o, nos dados do seu pr&#243;prio corpo. E s&#243; depois expandiram para todos n&#243;s que queremos otimizar como dormimos, como recuperamos, como treinamos.</p><p>O mercado certo n&#227;o &#233; necessariamente o maior. &#201; o que j&#225; est&#225; pronto para a conversa. E nestes espa&#231;os - gin&#225;sio, spa, hotel, casa - o ambiente como fator de sa&#250;de e bem-estar n&#227;o s&#227;o uma conversa de futuro. J&#225; s&#227;o parte da premissa.</p><p>O Behestia pode chegar aos escrit&#243;rios. Acredito que chegar&#225;. Mas talvez o caminho seja por aqui primeiro, por espa&#231;os que j&#225; dizem &#8220;este ambiente foi pensado para a tua sa&#250;de&#8221;.</p><p>Assim, o Behestia tem como objetivo tornar-se o WHOOP para os edif&#237;cios. Para os 90% da vida que vivemos dentro de espa&#231;os. Para o que ningu&#233;m estava a prestar aten&#231;&#227;o at&#233; agora.</p><p>Se isto vai ser poss&#237;vel de formalizar eu n&#227;o sei.

Hoje quero escrever sobre o caminho at&#233; aqui.</p><p>A ideia de construir um Building Doctor n&#227;o tem uma semana, nem meses, tem, na verdade, anos. No meu primeiro contacto com a NeuroArquitetura e a Psicologia Ambiental eu sabia que havia algo ali para mim. E esse algo levou-me a entrar num PhD: uma vontade de perceber mais sobre o impacto do ambiente constru&#237;do no ser humano, de querer explorar mais.</p><p>No entanto, esse PhD nunca se concluiu. Foi um ano de investiga&#231;&#227;o, leitura, conversas, para perceber que o caminho n&#227;o era por ali, que o formato n&#227;o era aquele.</p><p>Desde ent&#227;o, essa ideia ficou dormente. Fui acumulando mais conhecimento, mais fontes, mais perguntas, mais conex&#245;es. Antes de existir um conceito com forma, existiram muitos ficheiros de Excel, mapas de ideias, brainstormings, folhas coladas nas paredes.</p><p>O que seria isto? Para quem? Que m&#233;tricas estamos a medir? &#201; uma consultoria, uma app, uma investiga&#231;&#227;o acad&#233;mica? Onde andam as certifica&#231;&#245;es? As legisla&#231;&#245;es que nos falam disto?</p><p>Vieram compara&#231;&#245;es com o que j&#225; existe no mercado: o que andam a fazer, como medem, o que medem, e porqu&#234;.</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://inesviana.substack.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe now&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:&quot;button-wrapper&quot;}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary button-wrapper" href="https://inesviana.substack.com/subscribe?"><span>Subscribe now</span></a></p><p>Foram v&#225;rios planos, v&#225;rios conceitos, v&#225;rios nomes. Mas o conceito sempre teve um fio condutor, uma frase que me impactou desde o primeiro momento:</p><blockquote><p>Building Engineers and Facilities Managers are true heroes of our health. The people who manage your building have a greater impact on your health than your doctor.</p></blockquote><p>E porqu&#234;? Passamos 90% do nosso tempo dentro de edif&#237;cios. H&#225; quem nos considere uma esp&#233;cie interior. Sabemos, pela neuroci&#234;ncia, pela psicologia ambiental e at&#233; pela epigen&#233;tica ambiental, que o ambiente que nos rodeia impacta grandemente a nossa sa&#250;de. Ent&#227;o porque n&#227;o pensamos, constru&#237;mos e mantemos os edif&#237;cios em alinhamento com esse saber?</p><p>O conceito do Building Doctor surgiu daqui: do edif&#237;cio como um ponto de proximidade, com grande influ&#234;ncia na nossa sa&#250;de e bem-estar, com m&#233;tricas e um pulsar que pode ser medido e transformado em informa&#231;&#227;o &#250;til sobre a qual podemos atuar.</p><p>Da qualidade do ar e da &#225;gua, ao conforto t&#233;rmico, ac&#250;stico e ilumina&#231;&#227;o, tudo isto s&#227;o m&#233;tricas que podem ser medidas e que foram estudadas como tendo impacto real.</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://inesviana.substack.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe now&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:&quot;button-wrapper&quot;}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary button-wrapper" href="https://inesviana.substack.com/subscribe?"><span>Subscribe now</span></a></p><h4><strong>A ci&#234;ncia que sustenta a ideia</strong></h4><p>Sabiam que ocupantes em edif&#237;cios com boa qualidade do ar interior tiveram scores cognitivos at&#233; 101% mais altos do que em edif&#237;cios convencionais? &#201; o que mostra o COGfx Study da Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health - um dos estudos mais citados na &#225;rea.</p><p>Ou que trabalhadores em edif&#237;cios com certifica&#231;&#227;o ambiental reportam 26% mais fun&#231;&#227;o cognitiva e 30% menos dores de cabe&#231;a? &#201; o que concluiu o World Green Building Council em 2014.</p><p>E ainda: n&#237;veis de CO&#8322; acima de 1.000 ppm, comuns em salas de reuni&#227;o cheias, j&#225; afetam significativamente a tomada de decis&#227;o. Satish et al. (2012) demonstraram isso em condi&#231;&#245;es controladas. O ar que respiramos dentro de um edif&#237;cio n&#227;o &#233; neutro. Nunca foi.</p><h4><strong>O Building Doctor agora tem um nome: Behestia.</strong></h4><p>H&#233;stia era a deusa do lar, do fogo dom&#233;stico, do espa&#231;o que acolhe. N&#227;o a mais famosa do Olimpo, mas talvez a mais essencial. Sem ela, n&#227;o h&#225; casa. Sem qualidade do ambiente interior, n&#227;o h&#225; espa&#231;o que funcione de verdade.</p><p>Estes anos serviram para perceber o que a Behestia quer ser: n&#227;o mais um dashboard de m&#233;tricas, mas uma plataforma que transforma dados em prescri&#231;&#245;es. Que diz ao gestor o que fazer, n&#227;o s&#243; o que est&#225; a acontecer. Que d&#225; ao ocupante uma linguagem para perceber porque &#233; que &#224;s 15h o foco desaparece.</p><p>A ideia maturou. Os planos existem.</p><p>O Di&#225;rio #1 chegou num momento de a&#231;&#227;o, quando a constru&#231;&#227;o come&#231;a, mas o trabalho j&#225; tinha iniciado h&#225; muito. Este &#233; esse antes.</p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://inesviana.substack.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Thanks for reading In&#234;s Viana!

pergunta ficou guardada. Fiz o meu caminho pela arquitectura, pela sustentabilidade, pelos edif&#237;cios. Trabalhei em Londres, aprendi o que &#233; um edif&#237;cio sustent&#225;vel, o que significa WELL, Neuroarquitetura, o impacto no ambiente, o que a qualidade do ar faz &#224;s pessoas que trabalham num espa&#231;o.</p><p>Mas a pergunta nunca foi embora.</p><p>Em Londres, num projeto com poucos recursos, tive a oportunidade de construir solu&#231;&#245;es com o que tinha. Zapier, automa&#231;&#245;es, IA. E algo que estava adormecido acordou, a l&#243;gica, os sistemas, a vontade de construir. Com o regresso a Portugal, decidi dedicar os primeiros seis meses de 2026 a estudar Python, SQL, Prompt Engineering. N&#227;o por obriga&#231;&#227;o. Por genu&#237;na curiosidade.</p><p>E com essa decis&#227;o vieram as ideias.</p><p class="button-wrapper" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://inesviana.substack.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe now&quot;,&quot;action&quot;:null,&quot;class&quot;:&quot;button-wrapper&quot;}" data-component-name="ButtonCreateButton"><a class="button primary button-wrapper" href="https://inesviana.substack.com/subscribe?"><span>Subscribe now</span></a></p><p>A resposta veio de alguma forma at&#233; mim, n&#227;o &#233; sobre um ou outro. &#201; sobre Arquitetura &amp; Engenharia Inform&#225;tica. &#201; sobre unir dois mundos que me s&#227;o muito pr&#243;ximos. &#201; sobre o impacto do ambiente na sa&#250;de do ocupante e na sa&#250;de do planeta. A base &#233; sempre a mesma, as ferramentas &#233; que v&#227;o evoluindo.</p><p>H&#225; muitas ferramentas que medem edif&#237;cios. Medem CO&#8322;, temperatura, qualidade do ar. Geram relat&#243;rios, pontos para certifica&#231;&#245;es, dashboards. Mas nenhuma me diz o que realmente quero saber: este espa&#231;o est&#225; a afetar a minha capacidade de pensar?</p><p>H&#225; uma diferen&#231;a enorme entre uma m&#233;trica e um resultado. Saber que o CO&#8322; est&#225; a 900ppm &#233; uma m&#233;trica. Perceber que o teu foco caiu a pique &#224;s 15h por causa disso, isso &#233; um resultado.</p><p>O Whoop fez isso para o corpo humano. O Building Doctor quer fazer isso para os edif&#237;cios.</p><p>N&#227;o tenho tudo definido. N&#227;o sei exactamente como vou construir isto, nem quanto tempo vai demorar. Mas decidi faz&#234;-lo em p&#250;blico, partilhar o processo, os erros, as d&#250;vidas, as descobertas.</p><p>Este &#233; o primeiro di&#225;rio. Haver&#225; mais.</p><p>Se trabalhas em edif&#237;cios, em tecnologia, em wellbeing, ou se simplesmente j&#225; sentiste que o teu espa&#231;o de trabalho te drena sem saberes porqu&#234;, fico feliz por teres chegado at&#233; aqui.</p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://inesviana.substack.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Thanks for reading In&#234;s Viana!
