| Course Objectives: | The aim of this course is to introduce students how people interact with the physical environment by using their bodies. Students are expected to learn and use basic principles of anthropometrics since anthropometry plays an important role in industrial design, clothing design, ergonomics and architecture where statistical data about the distribution of body dimensions in the population are used to optimize products. |
|
The students who have succeeded in this course; -Examine how people interact with their physical environment by using their bodies. -Analyze principles and practices of anthropometrics. -Optimize designs of spaces and spatial products for the use of all. -Make use of body dimension tables. -Analyze principles of Universal Design. -Examines different types of limitations of people. -use principles of anthropometrics and principles of Universal Design in design projects. |
| This course focuses on the factors influencing the design of our built environment by exploring the fundamentals of anthropometrics and applicability of related anthropometric data to the design of different interior spaces. |
