| Course Objectives | This course aims students to comprehend the complex nature of public interiors and to gain the skill of designing multi-functioned spaces considering the user needs as well as the service provider’s brand identity. Since the existing building is an historical one, design problem is subject to the adaptive reuse consideration. Besides the detailed information on human ergonomics and universal design principles, applying proper materials and developing joint details are aimed in the course. |

| Course Description | In this course, public spaces such as dormitories, hotels, big stores, and hospitals are analyzed by considering both, the user needs and brand identity. Because the given building is an historical one, design problem is subject to the adaptive reuse consideration as well. Not only the standards of human ergonomics and universal design principles, but also the technical information on materials and joint details are evaluated and developed by the students. |
