The study of Ergonomics in Interior Design is there, so that architects and most importantly interior designers can provide better spaces and furniture for our clients which will then positively impact on their well being ( whether it is physical or emotional).

"Ergonomics is the study of the interaction between people and machines and the factors that affect the interaction ".
At first, this study was limited to the workplace, but this definition expands the limits because it could be a residential setting or a restaurant interior, because humans in everywhere they go, they want to be comfortable, safe and healthy.

In order to respect all three goals (comfort, safety,health) we need to:
1) identify and eliminate the risks and possible dangers in the space.
2) analyze the functions based on the client's needs.
3) design (process) " has been somewhat formalized into a series of steps that gradually and sequentially lead from all the initial fragments of information to a final space plan. There are variations, but the steps are always similar." It also involves programming.
4) modify if needed "the tools & equipment so that they do not enable injury or illness".
5) provide the safety regulations.
6) determine accommodations and accessibility.
7) recommend how the client can do and make safely.

    Martha this was a very quick summary of the design process and I found that good because the book gave so much information it was hard to process so thank you. However, I would have liked to have more in depth explanations for numbers 4 and 6, because it was a little confusing for me to understand. But overall, I appreciate with your summary, that we can see how different the composition design process varies from the interior design process.

    Martha,
    Nice summary. Your summary really states the goals and objectives of an Interior Designer. Many of this goals and objectives would not be applicable to an Interior Decorator. So you can see and answer someone who may question the difference between a Decorator vs Designer.

Post 06 Rengel's Chapter 6 summary: When taking a project, we are of course involved in the space planning process. And to make a project successful, we have to make it as simple as possible, cohesive, practical (functional) and efficient for the users.   And for me, the most important characteristic that will help the space be more successful by responding to these qualities is the flow ( the circulation within a space). Circulation is actually hard to achieve, especially if there are different types of rooms involved such as an open space and a closed room, or different functions in a room. The interior designer needs to have a clear circulation system and there are different ways to achieve that. This building offers corridors with stairs to circulate from floor to floor. lighting makes the corridor interesting and pleasant. different types of circulation to think about. There are also different elements th...

Post 08 Rengel's Chapter 8 Summary: After talking about residential design, this chapter focuses on the non- residential design which is the office space, the store space (retail), and the restaurant. Designing for these kind of spaces, is not the same as designing for residential projects, because it does not only serve one client, a couple, or one family, but its purpose is to serve the workers, the visitors, the community, which is mostly everyone. Work environments: We have to be able to provide a space where workers can focus on work and be productive. Plus, these days, more and more companies want their workers to work on teams. There is a need to balance private and public spaces. However the privacy is not the same as the privacy in a residential project where people are completely isolated, but it is shown in a subtle and thoughtful way (semi-private with workstations). We also would want to provide rooms where the company can have group meetings with eith...
