Human perception of the environment influences behavior, mood and productivity. In this course, students develop awareness of ergonomics and anthropometrics in terms of human dimensions and movement. Proxemics, the study of personal space needs, are also explored while visual perception and dynamics of color are applied in three-dimensional spaces. The psychological needs of special populations (impaired, elderly, children, etc.) are also investigated. This course provides students with an awareness of how human needs at home and in the workplace influence design decisions and impact quality of life.
