Front Back
Physiological
-Sensory -Decline of central nervous system and cognitive fucntions -Decline of muscular and skeletal system -reduced ability to adapt to temperature changes -disease: Arthritis, rheumatism, heart disease and high blood pressure.
Social and Functional Changes
-family structure and work role -income -mobility and sphere of activity -reduces sense of security and control -diminished self-confidence -reduced social networks
Design solutions for Vision and Hearing
-Light:Quality and Quantity -Bright colors: orange, yellow and red easier than cool colors -glare:avoid unnecessary contrast of light and dark shadows -distort depth perception -low-pitch -background noises make difficult to follow conversations
Design solutions for central nervous system and cognitive functions
-ease of orientation and wayfinding -safety considerations -identifiable/ personalized space -more identifiable image
Design solutions for muscular and skeletal systems
-easier to fall -ground surface materials -avoid unnecessary change in elevations: ex. stairs -easy to use fixtures; like handles, railings, comfortable seats, bench in shower
Design solutions for temperature changes and disease
amenities for temperature moderation/ control -5 types sandwich spaces: skylighted 3 season porch, screened porch, covered porch, trellis, open bbq plaza -options for those with various levels of reserve/ energy -easy access to near by restrooms -easy handles to grab for people with a…
design solutions for social and functional changes
-provide opportunities for social interactions -provide easy access to activities and services -provide options for various levels for reserve/energy -easy access to common spaces and in/ out buildings -easy access neighborhood services
Design recomondations for housing the elderly
-visual surveillance for real/ perceived safety and security -flat door threshold -wheelchair slope: ADA= 1/12 -entrance is minimum of 5' x 5' -avoid level changes: ex. stairs -Carpet: non skid carpet or with the edges taped down -bathroom: 5' radius to turn around - showers with n…
design for Dementia patience
-walks with no dead ends -exit control: ex. painted door to look like book case
CCRC
Continuing Care Retirement Community
What's considered CCRC?
-Retirment community/ independent living -Adult day care facility -Assisted living facility -Nursing Home
How are children different from adults?
-limited physical/ cognitive/ social development -growing (different developmental stages) -less mobile -more vulnerable to environmental threats -like to play -need environment with different scale -safety is especially important -often ignored in design
Piaget's theory about children's developmental stages:
-sensori-motor Birth---2 yrs. -Pre-operational 2yrs---7 yrs -Concrete operational 7yrs---11 yrs -Formal operational 11 yrs--- +...
Playground vs. Children's development
-Physical--running, jumping, climbing, lifting -Social-- team building, non competitive social interact, social roles, expression/ communication, friendship development -Cognitive-- problem solving, imagination, exploration, self-discovery and motor skills
Rationale for Miss Harris's Classroom Design
-supply furniture and play items to easily move and rearrange -avoid placing undue limitations on how children use the space: ex. inappropriately scaled fixtures -facilitate exploration by circulation and sight lines -offer sensory rich environment: ex. colors, lighting, textures, shap…
Play vs. safety from cars
-close through streets -parking in peripheral areas -internal squares (expanded "home territory") -safety in neighborhood -play areas
Why is the street/sidewalk play popular?
-can ride bikes -play hopscotch -jump rope -street hockey -social interaction (shared because open public space)
Concept of Woonerf
a street or group of streets in a town or city where pedestrians and cyclist have legal priority or motorist
Developmental implications of homes
-play areas in the main living areas -activity pockets: can be created in lighting, seating, and storage of materials accessible to children -Kitchen as a family room -accessibility -privacy -active play -outdoor opportunities
Housing vs. Crowding examples
-mirrored imaged layouts -thin walls let sounds through -Synchronized living schedules -students that have to share more of their space feel more crowded (2 person dorm room/ community bathroom) -not enough privacy when needed
Design guidelines for a medium-density, low-rise housing.
-spacing of units -visual and fucntional access to open space from the dwelling -protection of privacy -division into small identifiable clusters -variety in facade design -access to buildings -minimize noise intrusion -well sighter community facilities -parking -adequate private…

Story of Pruitt-Igoe: Crimes in different types of housing
-interior of a single apartment vs. -landing shared by 2 families vs. -corridors shared by 20 families vs. -lobbies, elevators, and stairs shared by 150 families
Effects of housing form and building types
-Single-family houses -Walk ups -Highrises
Single-family Houses
-all interior spaces are within the private domain of the family -all grounds around the private unit are for the private use of the family -there is a direct abutment between private grounds and the sidewalk -the domain of the house encompasses the street
Walkups
-Private space is within the apartment unit only -the interior lobby, stairs and corridor are semi-private -grounds can be designated for one family but are usually shared by all the families -only a small number of families (3 to 6) share the interior circulation areas and grounds -t…
Highrise
-Private space exist only within the apartment units -the interior circulation areas and the grounds are public -there is no association between buildings and street
What social and physical factors increase crime and decrease stability in Neuman et al.'s study on moderate-income housing and public housing projects?
Social Factors -% of families on AFDC -Ratio of teenagers to adults Physical Factors -Project size -# of families sharing common entries into buildings
Case study of Forbidden City, Beijing, China
Basic system of Traditional Chinese Architecture -Basic elements and units -axis and orientation for spatial organization -hierarchy in Architecture Basic Model for City Planning in Ancient China
Spatial Relationships
-space within a space -interlocking spaces -adjacent spaces -spaces linked by a common space
Spatial organizations
-centralized organization -linear organization -radial organization -clustered organization -grid organization
Circulation Elements
Approach -Entrance -Configuration of the path -Path-space relationships -Form of the circulation space
Approach
-Frontal -Oblique -Spiral
Ordering Principles
-Axis -Rhythm -Symmetry -Datum -Hierarchy -Tranformation
Impact of Light
-low light = intimacy and reduced conversation -adequate light vs. performance -Sufficient/ appropriate lighting level and sense of control -full spectrum lighting: increases performance, mood or health
Impact of Material and Color
Material Color -temperature -individual color preferences -mood and performance -spaciouness
Impact of Window and Nature
-People like windows -ventilation -source of weather -ability to see people -a way to regulate temperature -source of sunlight -visual connection with the outside world -Nature: Stress reduction and attention restoration
Impact of Furnishing
-furniture arrangement -sociopetal vs. sociofugal -quality of furnishings vs. mood and behavior -potted plants vs. mood and behavior Health Care Setting -Comfort -Safety -Child Friendly
Sociopetal vs. Sociofugal
Sociopetal- facing each other, ex. circular form Sociofugal- facing one direction, ex. classroom settings
W.H.O Concept of Health
World Health Organization -Absence of disease or infirmity to -A status of complete physical, mental and social well-being
Art in healthcare settings vs. emotional congruence theory
-Persons' emotions bias perceptions in ways that match their feelings. -Prediction:patients' stressed feelings dispose them to interpret abstract features or views in emotionally matching stressful ways
