Places for People: Special user needs in building types
The aim of this course is to let participants familiarize themselves with the user-centered approach for the design of buildings and spaces with special functions such as, hospitals, schools, office buildings and to learn about the special considerations and design criteria and principles that apply to these special facilities.
The course adds knowledge about special user groups such as children, elderly and the handicap. It also draws upon previous knowledge and fundamentals of Environmental Psychology and Environment-Behaviour Studies.
This course supplements what participants know about design standards and building codes for specialized building types and facilities.
