This study introduces mass-customization design development of bathroom sink that satisfies both the manufacturer's need for productivity increase and the consumer's need for individuality, which allows for expansibility based on numerous mixing and matching. The nature of the product brings the balance between functional aspects and emotional aspects as the focus of the concept. To maximize the efficiency of design development process, consumer behavior analysis was conducted to reveal the unspoken consumer needs, and the plan for mix and use of new materials came as a result of the trend analyses on overall living environment, bathroom and sink. In order to increase the expansibility based on consumers' individuality, modular design was utilized.

The purpose of this study is to propose an architectural design process adopting design concepts with weight on them. The process of the study is as follow; First, design concepts for the study are classified by the hierarchy. Developing process of those design concepts which had been adopted for a creative thinking was investigated. Second, after putting different weight on diverse design concepts, this study propose a design process adopting design concepts with different weight. Finally, the proposed process adopting design concepts with weight was verified through a case study of elementary school project. The case study was carried out by questionnaires 3 times. Experimental results verified the hypothesis which was about the process adopting design concepts with different weight. Architects can precede their design process with confidence about setting design concepts by the result of this study.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate current usages and situations of kitchen with regard to universal design concept in order to provide useful data to plan universally designed kitchen space for all family members. Previous studies for universal design and kitchen planning were reviewed and a checklist was developed to evaluate kitchen space based on universal design concept by researchers of this study. Also, all items in the checklist were reclassified by 5 universal design criteria(Supportiveness, Adaptability, Communicability, Pleasantness, and Accessibility) and analyzed sample kichens by the criteria. The 7 households with different characteristics*age, sex, degree of disability or aging, and number of family) were selected for case studies. The results of this study suggested several critical design points to establish directions or provide guidelines for further kitchen planning.

Along with the development of creative building design ideas, how to effectively sign design concepts is also an important consideration on environmental design. The research goals established in order to solve these problems are to develop structures of sign design and analyze the cases of it. This paper explains structures of sign design in two ways: the compositional elements of signs and the relationships of visual perception. Among various relationships among sign design compositional elements this study uses relationships based on the Gestalt theory, the balance theory by Rudolf Arnheim, and the optical away theory by Gibson. The design principles investigated on the basis of the visual perception theories include the relationships between compositional elements and background space, visual weight balance, horizontal and vertical balances, grouping, and visual layout patterns

This study mainly aims to address the housing requirements of senior citizens through meeting their basic needs for physical housing while valuing the particular human needs and demands of older people. As the number and frequency of their social ties decrease, senior citizens spend most of their time at home. As a result, they suffer a larger number of accidents in the home. Although carelessness is a cause, the main reason for seniors household accidents is that the general structure, fixtures and appliances of housing do not take into account the particular needs of older people. This study investigates the accident patterns of older people, addresses structural obstructions, and proposes guidelines for ergonomic interior design and household management which take into account universal design and the special needs of senior citizens. This study explores the following: 1) Accident causes and patterns in senior households, as the specific characteristics, requirements of older people. 2) An analysis of safety improvement plans and application. 3) Determining each rooms layout by functional requirement. 4) A final set of proposed interior design guidelines for senior housing.

노인은 대부분의 활동을 주거 공간 중심으로 보내게 되므로, 노화에 따른 만성적 지병과 신체활동의 기능저하로 말미암아 주거와 의료 서비스의 결합은 노인의 생활에 있어서 핵심적인 요소가 아닐 수 없다. 따라서 주거와 의료서비스를 결합한 노인의료주거단지에 있어 노인의 라이프스타일을 반영한 다양한 형태의 주거생활공간에 대한 연구와 대안모색이 필요하다. 참여와 공동창작으로 이루어지는 유니버설서비스디자인의 프로세스를 본 연구에 도입함으로써 주체적이고 활동적인 서비스의 소비자로서의 노인에 대한 적극적인 대안이 될 것이다.

The development of architecture made it possible to predict human's dream having a perfect control over his environment be fulfilled by the development of the electric engineering after the twentieth century. During a century, throgh the renovation of systems, the design concepts of its environment, dwelling space, and the relationship between human and system. By exploring any possible new idea on the basis of the technical limits of the current system, let us suggest the advanced products ahead of a century.

The purpose of this study was identifying the essential concept of home of middle class and aged housewives by using a critical incident methodology. All 30 subjects participated in structured interviews designed to elicit statements describing the attributes of home and non-home environment. The qualities of comfort, place-attachment, self-expression, fundamental values and personal identity, social relationships, economic value, and a suitable physical structure were associated with home environments, and were absent in residences which were not regarded as homes.
