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.
Learning Outcomes	The students who succeeded in this course; Explain the role of elements on the plan layout and the components of infrastructure in a public interior. Design the complex multi-functional spaces such as dormitories, hotels, big stores, and hospitals. Analyze how a public interior interacts with people considering both the user needs and service provider’s brand identity. Evaluate the complex interiors in terms of how much they fit to the standards of human ergonomics and universal design principles. Propose original joint details and method of material applications.
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.
