Community Village: User Needs

Elderly

User Characteristic: loss of muscle mass and strength, creating fatigue

Design Solution: seating should be abundant and convienece necessary

User Characteristic: loss of sensitivity to light, loss of color sensitivity, difficulty seeing little variation between light and dark

Design Solution: wayfinding design , higher contrast materials, visibility from room to room, choice of materials, lighting and finishes

User Characteristic: loss of calcium and other nutrients

Design Solution: vitamins and high calcium and nutrient foods in convience store

User Characteristic: depression

Design Solution: social interaction areas, group activities and open floor plan creating sense of community

User Characteristic: social luncheons, movies, excursions-

Design Solution: provide multi-pupose room for activities and establish volunteer group to organize trips

User Characteristic: privacy need

Design Solution: provide some private spaces such as multi purpose room closing off and conference room on 2nd floor

User Characteristic: sensitivity to changes in temperature

Design Solution: smaller common areas with manual temperature controls, larger areas more constant temperature average tolerable by all occupants

Perspectives: Community Village

and after further exploration, more I experimented with more developed perspectives.

Group member Jeff Linn developed these additional perspectives for Unity Village's second floor.

Addressing Questions on Design Process

How I relate design thinking, use and implement it in the future will be based on my design experiences and processes. Design processes is trial and error which leads to beneficial designs and answers. Including everyone in the design process is a key factor contributing to successful design. Thus, a designer relates to the occupants’ individual needs. This along with prototyping helps to eliminate any final problems.

The current Community Village project has taken us through a lot of critical thinking about design. Since design processes include satisfying user needs we need to address our multiple groups in a way that satisfies them all. Planning standards vary for the different groups, so adjustments will need to be made to spaces, products, materials, and signage that accommodate them all.

These beginning stages of the design process have made me very aware of all the time that will need to be spent on these multiple user projects. The researching of design planning standards is key to laying out the space. It is the start of the programming and layout. They will be the foundation to which I start future projects.
