PUBLISHER’S NOTE

Dr. Jennifer had taught this Human Factors for Design course for more than a decade. It was passed on to me when I joined the University of Arkansas. It is my second time teaching Human Factors at the University of Arkansas.

As a practitioner, I simply had to determine which design was best for the client, but as an educator, I had difficulty determining which direction to teach, since I was aware that not all students would become interior designers. As human factors have traditionally been closely related to psychology or anatomy, and industrial engineering and UX design have become dominant, it is impossible to cover everything in a semester for students who lack basic background knowledge. In response to the difficulty, I adopted a simple approach. “Return to the basics.”

If interior designers and architects are responsible for designing spaces, what is the purpose of the design and what are people expecting from us? In what ways can human factors assist us in meeting these objectives and meeting these expectations? I ask my students these questions at the beginning and end of each lecture. Overall, I was interested in discussing the elements of interaction that must be tailored to a specific purpose and meet people’s expectations. The purpose of the series of discussions was to lay the groundwork for analyzing and understanding the interaction between behavioral and environmental factors. Although it takes time to achieve results, you will eventually see the quality of your performance reflect the effort you have put forth. By putting in as much effort as possible, you will be able to design faster, more accurately, more effectively, and more efficiently. As well as emphasizing the interaction of behavioral and environmental factors, the course required students to complete 12 exercises and a final project. In addition, students had to write a few essays. All of their outputs are included in this book except the essays.

During my student days, I was not very satisfied with the first portfolio I developed by simply binding output files for the purpose of job preparation. I used to feel that it would have been better to prepare the portfolio in advance during the break, but every break is short and I needed time to rejuvenate my mind and body after completing so many tasks during the semester. Sometimes I am unable to recall what I have learned or what I have missed. I have occasionally been unable to locate my output files. Consequently, I found myself holding a portfolio that had no relation to my interests or passions. Hopefully, you will find this publication helpful in retrieving what you have learned as a designer and preserving what you have accomplished.

Lastly, I would like to express my appreciation for everyone’s efforts last semester. Having the opportunity to combine the results of everyone’s efforts into a book made me very happy during the writing of this book.

#What problems did you encounter in the studio or outside?

• I think time management and balancing work and school.

• Everything was good!

• I struggled with procrastination this semester. 3rd year was very demanding and I started to lose motivation towards the end.

• I would say that time management is always something I struggle with. Being a third year student - the work load is more time consuming which made this year more difficult.

• I didn’t find that reviewing people’s mistakes in our assignments 2/3 classes of the week proved to be very helpful. I mostly learned in this class how to create the exact same power point every week. I also felt as if putting the reference on the wrong slide and getting points off was very unhelpful towards teaching actual human facotrs in design, it was tedious.

• Nothing

• I had a hard time getting assignments done because they were assigned on Fridays and I try really hard to keep my work during the week. I did not get several turned in because they were minutes late and that stinks but I also understand a deadline. I wish we would be able to have gotten the assignments on Wednesdays.

• I struggled this year with balancing all aspects of life. I was mainly focused on finding an internship and working on my professional resume and portfolio creations while maintaining a good academic standing academically. As a result, I found myself being pushed to the limits. I am excited to be able to rest for a few weeks, and then be able to work in the real world as I head into my senior year of design education.

• Balancing intense studio demands with the rest of my classes while searching for an internship raised some stress levels.

• This semester was overall a challenge and teaching lesson for time management and organization skills. Having weekly assignments being assigned on Friday and due on Monday was a challenge for me.

• In the beginning of the class, I didn’t like how the assignments were explained, and assigned on Fridays, leaving us to do the assignment over the weekend. I feel as if my work could have been better if I had during the week to complete the assignment and not rush/dread doing it over the weekend.

• None, just the fact every class was demanding and hard to keep up with.

• Remembering the assignments. The workload this semester was so heavy that sometimes, I would not remember about Human Factors assignments till Sunday night.

• Navigating the complexities of ensuring my projects met various codes was definitely a challenge. It required meticulous research and attention to detail to ensure compliance while maintaining the integrity of my designs. Additionally, constructing axonometrics in Revit proved to be time-consuming and sometimes frustrating, as I worked to accurately translate my ideas into digital models. However, overcoming these obstacles has been immensely rewarding, as each hurdle has contributed to my growth as a designer and equipped me with valuable skills for future projects.

• Personally I had a hard time getting the assignments done because they were very time-consuming. I wish I gotten some grades back sooner so that I could then fix my next project and try to get the best possible grade, instead I was doing the assignment the same way because I thought it was right and then not getting a good grade on a handful of assignments when I feel that could’ve been prevented easily.

• Didn’t really have any problems that aren’t unusual for my life.

• I haven’t encountered too many issues in the class or outside this year, I think one thing I really need to work on is time management.

• Honestly, just trying to stay on top of everything.

• I faced a few health issues but managed my very best to keep up with all my classes and make the most of every learning opportunity from this Human Factors course.

• I think this semester just had a lot of very time consuming work, so it was really difficult for me. It was also hard juggling studio, human factors, and my honors methods of design inquiry class while working, keeping a social life, and keeping my mental health stable.

• I had trouble with time management. This was my busiest semester and planning when to do assignments or how to break in parts was hard for me.

• Understanding exactly what each assignment was asking

• The biggest problem I encountered was having a balance between work and classes I had Hand in hand with that was having time management and making sure there was enough allocated time for assignments and projects.

• I quickly had to plan to do the weekly assignments starting on Friday’s in order to balance studio and this class.

• None really :)

• It may have taken a while to get used to the layout of the assignments, but after that, there were no problems for me in the class.

• The problems I encountered during this class were not fully understanding the assignments, and struggling to complete the assignments in a timely manner on top of studio demands. Many peers and myself were left confused on how to complete the assignments, and not fully understanding the exact requirements. It seems as though the class did not fully understand the exact requirements of the assignments until grades were put in later in the semester. It is also very challenging to clearly hear and remember every single instruction shared during the lecture, and would be helpful to receive a simply formatted list of instructions and grading criteria in addition to lectures. The lecture slides that were shared on box were helpful to a certain extent, but still left many students without clear understandings and steps to completing the lengthy assignments. The grading format also left many students confused and unsure of how to calculate their grade to see where they stand. Overall, the assignments were helpful to expanding design knowledge and ideas.

• Time management and understanding instruction were my biggest obstacles. Planning out what I need to have completed by the end of the day and taking good notes helped these problems.

• There was a lot of confusion within studio this year of vague instruction.

• I did not encounter any problems in studio or outside of studio.

• This semester ended up being more challenging than the fall due to the odd-paced studio project and personal struggles. The beginning of the semester was spent doing a lot of busy work. Although it was fun, it gave us little time to develop and refine our projects.

• Inside and outside of the studio I often struggle with the work-life balance. Spending time with friends and family is very important to me and can often be challenging when trying to balance time with them and studio.

• I did not really encounter any problems in the studio or outside of studio!

• I had no problems with this course. I would say it was hard getting up for this class, but it was worth it.

• In studio, it has always been hard to know when to stop. As designers, we always think there is something to be improved. Knowing when to say it is enough is a skill I have had to learn throughout my time at the Fay Jones School.

• I guess a problem I encountered was waking up early for a 8am class, it was tough but I got through it!

• The course load in studio was not as involved this semester however all of the other courses I took as as well as my involvement in my sorority became more time consuming than past semesters. The only difficulty I encountered this semester was balancing school, sorority, personal, and social commitments.

• Lack of organization

• A lot of pacing & prioritizing my assignments based on when they where due and my amount of free time in the day.

• Architecture school has been challenging academically and mentally. There were times I wasn’t sure I was going to make it, but here we are. There are so many trials I went through, I don’t have the time to type them all out. I cried a lot and was broken down again and again but in the end, I am proud of what I have accomplished and the person I am today.

• Too much to say... but what I can say is that I have survived many late nights, stressful deadlines, and personal loss. Problems, stress, and challenges will always find you but it is important that you hold firm to you boundaries and morals - a lesson I have learned more than once this past semester.

#What did you learn from this class?

• I learned a lot about the human scale as well as the scale of architecture. I also learned how spaces make people feel.

• I learned how to design in ways that are specific to certain individuals. Being able to see how each environment needed to think about different and specific elements was good to be educated. I am definitely a lot more focused on every single element that goes into the space and how a human can or would want to interact with it.

• This class informed me about the need for human based evidence in design.

• I learned that good design is backed with lots of research and is always centered around the human experience.

• I learned that the assignments are very tedious and whether or not you listen in class it does not reflect in your assignment grades. As those grades were more based on following Jinohs powerpoint example word for word powerpoint and not what we discussed in the lectures. When we were going through the lectures though I found them to be very informative and helpful for studio as well as for my internship. I think Jinoh is very intelligent and I have a lot to learn from him.

• human factors and experiences while designing

• I learned a lot about how a person feels inside of a space and what is making them feel that way.

• The influence of design decisions, such as scale, drastically affects a space. Also, how every decision in design ultimately affects a person.

• I learned how the sequence of how people move through the space effects the way they feel in the space.

• I learned about how users interact with different sectors of design, by looking at precedents of projects. Through this I gained a greater appreciation for all sectors of design, and how to better design for the users of the space. There is a large number of factors that influence the design decisions we make and it’s crucial we recognize them early on.

• The diverse range of human factors that are applicable to a space was very interesting to me and I am looking forward to implementing more of them into my future projects.

• I learned just how important the human body is to every design. Before this class I did not consider the scale and sizing of the human body movements to such detail as I do now.

• I enjoyed learning about new spaces and how each type of space interacts with guests.

• I learned a lot in this class in how a interior space can do so much aesthetically, but accessible to everyone using a thoughtful process in design.

• I learned how to look at design from a more human perspective than a technical one.

• This class provided me with invaluable insights into the multifaceted world of architecture. Through engaging documentaries, I gained a deeper understanding of how architectural works impact local communities and the importance of considering their perspectives and criticisms. Exploring the evolving nature of museums, particularly in the digital age, was eye-opening, highlighting the significance of embracing technology and social media to enhance cultural experiences. Overall, I developed a greater appreciation for the interconnectedness of architecture, society, and technology, equipping me with a more holistic understanding of the field and its broader implications.

• This class was really helpful in teaching me what certain types of building need and are willing to accommodate.

• I learned that looking at the human factors within design is not only important but vital, to succeed as a designer. Many of these factors are overlooked.

• I feel like I learned a lot about the human body within a space and how we move through it. I have talked about this class in every interview I’ve done.

• SO much. How environmental factors interact with human factors.

• I have learned to think though how the built environment effects human behavior; how the built environment can both aid and make things more difficult for people in a space. I have also learned how the effectiveness of design can be studies and mea-

sured, and how design impacts people’s life and behaviors.

• I learned many things about human and environmental factors that I did not know before. I also learned that it is very important to think about these things before actually going through with the design process.

• I learned how to analyze spaces and understand the layout.

• different ways humans interact with the built environment

• Human and environmental factors are a huge consideration that is necessary when designing any type of space. This class taught me how to understand what design aspects apply to human and environmental factors.

• Different ways to comprehend spaces depending on the programmatic intentions and what we as humans need.

• Good design comes from applying knowledge of the human needs and emotional responses. It is not neccesraily hard, just takes much thought and intention behind it.

• I learned how to look at a space from a different lense, and to consider the human quality of a space more.

• This class showed me different strategies in the design world, and how different design sectors respond to human needs.

• I learned that design should focus on the user experience more, in subtle ways and bold. Thinking about the human dimension when designing built spaces is important in its outcome. Being thorough and concise at the same time is also important in doing studio work and class assignments.

• I learned how movement through space affects us as humans and how we perceive space. I learned the relevance of sequence and how crucial this process is when reflecting on the success on your design.

• I learned how the human body has a significant impact on what we design, and that the interior space needs to relate to the occupants it is designed for.

• I learned what makes different types of spaces successful for human well-being. Studying countless projects for each assignment also allowed me to expand my knowledge of design elements that make sequences interesting.

• From this class, I learned the importance of the human factors that is applied in everyday life.

• What I learned from this class is to pay more attention to the design details and the codes that are being placed into the design projects. What I also learned is that there are many buildings that fit under one category, which is very interesting.

• I learned how a space is designed based on the way humans interact within the space and how the space works as whole with the environment.

• From human factors, I learned how to truly think about space in a new way. Before this class, it was a lot of thinking in just floor plan or section or 3D. After taking this class, I will think about the user experience through design elements, ADA factors, environmental factors, and the needs of the people. I will think about the human’s sequence through the space and how spaces I design can serve them.

• I learned that a design can affect humans and how they respond to the built environment. It is our job, as designers, to consider everything and look at the design through the lens of non-designers.

• I was reminded how influential the human body and scale is on everything we do as designers. I learned how to better accommodate human scale into designs and how to keep that as a focus in every design.

• The importance of human impact in spaces

• How to structurally set time for the assignments and how to accommodate for human factors/ WELL and LEED certification in future projects.

• I learned how to examine the built environment and identify ways that it could be improved for the human experience. And also that I am not a morning person.

• I learned how to properly investigate and question the built environment and work towards integrating human factors in the design world in order to help create more accessible and desirable spaces for everyone. Also... I am not a morning person :|

#Is there anything you would like to share with the future students?

• Honestly, when the term is over, the final project is something really impressive and unique to show at an interview.

• I learned a lot from this course. I would highly suggest applying this information and thinking about it during your studio course so you can maximise the benefits that come from the information shared.

• I would advise students to try and work on their assignments in small amounts throughout the work so it is less overwhelming.

• Get your work done and remember to take time for yourself.

• Go to class and be on time.

• No

• Do not wait until Monday at 6 am like I did because it is not enough time.

• Ask for assignments to be critiqued so you can better them.

• Spend time researching a number of precedents, to find the best examples of how human factors can be applied. There are a lot of good and poor examples out there and spend time really understanding what’s working and what’s not. Design is about learning and looking back into history and making it better!

• Take each assignment as an opportunity to explore new and interesting spaces that can inspire your own work!

• I encourage everyone to treat this class as a learning and teaching moment. Take each lesson serious and don’t wait until the last minute to complete it. Do not be afraid to ask questions and reach out to the TA’s if you are confused.

• No matter how hard it is, just come to class, and try to get the assignments done early so you’re not stressed out on Sundays.

• Make sure to attend every class

• Getting the assignments done early in the week will save you a lot of headaches.

• I’d suggest initiating your projects at the start of the week, ideally on Monday. Juggling a hefty course load can make it challenging to set aside focused time during weekends for a single assignment. By commencing work earlier in the week, I discovered a more manageable rhythm that allowed me to allocate ample time to each task, fostering the production of higher-quality work without the pressure of last-minute rushes. This approach not only enhances the quality of your output but also contributes to a more balanced and sustainable workflow throughout the semester, ensuring you maintain both productivity and well-being.

• It will all be okay! and to reach out to Jinoh if you need any help or if anything is cleared up.

• Allow yourself plenty of time to complete Jinoh’s assignments

• Take this class seriously and pay attention during class this is an important one.

• Do your homework!!

• Pay attention in class. Jinoh puts a lot of effort into each lecture and you can learn so much from him! Start your assignments as early as possible.

• Good luck! Showing up to class is 30% of the grade, so it is really important. I wish I had showed up more!

• Break up the assignment in two days so it’s not too much to do in one sitting. The hardest part was finding an example that worked.

• Do the homework before it’s due

• Time management is important in being successful in this class, make sure enough time is allocated to complete these assignments and in the correct way. These assignments are also important for understanding a key part of what we do which is designing for people and using human and environmental factors in that design. Take the assignments as a learning opportunity because it will only help you be more successful in the design world.

• Really try to understand the weekly assignments FULLY at the start. I had about five assignments that had one part I continuously misinterpreted and I didn’t know until they all were graded

at the same time. So, try and reach out to make sure everything is correct so you don’t miss a small fraction of the assignment even though it was a simple fix. There are several steps to these assignments and they are not difficult when you establish a template that is correct and understandable to yourself.

• Good information can be gleaned if you pay attention and explore more topics yourself!

• Make sure your sources for the assignments are in Chicago or APA style instead of URL!! That saves you points!

• I would encourage all the students to fully understand the instructions before completing any assignments, and ask for a clear outline of the grading criteria and requirements for annotations, drawings, and writings.

• Manage time efficiently and always ask questions when you are unclear. Always have work on time and ready every day at the beginning of class. Take good notes during lectures that you can understand when you go back to read them. Try not to procrastinate in studio and for other class assignments.

• I would say to just do the weekly assignments and every week and don’t wait until last minute.

• Have fun with your assignments, and make sure to invest a decent amount of time in them, as they reflect your understanding of human factors.

• Start your assignments early and try not to miss any, as it will make the final project more difficult. Also, look at the assignments as opportunities to expand your design knowledge, as you expose yourself to numerous projects. Find projects that you are interested in as it makes the process more enjoyable. Pay close attention to assignment instructions and ask questions if you are confused.

• I would like to share with future students that your hard work means something and that to keep pushing through.

• Don’t wait till the last minute to do the assignments, give yourself at least a couple of days before!! This class was awesome and I learned so much! Thank you Professor Jinoh!

• I hope you actually try and understand each topic because it is actually somewhat interesting in some ways.

• For future students going into the second semester of the third year, find your internship early, do your assignments for human factors on Saturday mornings (do not wait until Sunday evening), and remember this is your last studio with all your buddies in one place. Take it all in before you find yourself in fourth year.

• Attend class and please please please pay attention!! Jinoh mentions important things in class that are not on the slides. I understand studio can be heavy and you might be tempted to work on studio during his class, but that is rude! Show some manners and pay attention. I guarantee you will pass with an A if you pay attention and show up to class.

• Having designated “work” times and places is really helpful for time management and task organization. Its also important to make your own personal health a priority in your schedule. This can look like setting designated times or days for working out, being with friends/ family, taking care of personal stuff etc. This approach helps create a more rigid routine that you can stick to every day and that will make you feel so much more productive and accomplished at the end of the day!

• Do your assignments before Sunday, you might think the assignments don’t take long but I would say it took about 4 - 6 hrs. on average

• Don’t be afraid to ask for help, don’t feel bad for working at a slower pace than your peers, just do the best you can do, and remember that you do not have to prove your worth.

• Semesters go by fast and before you know it you’ll be graduated. Make the best of where you are now and do the best work you can so you can look back and be proud of what you have produced. Leave this school feeling like you succeeded in everything you set out to do - it will be painful but its worth it.

ASSIGNMENT 9: How is the authority of government and religion expressed in space (focusing on level, height, and scale)?

The authority of religion is expressed through the use of an elevated level and location. The Meditation Chapel is in an elevated position within nature for a clear view of the sea. The sets of stairs and a roof top space continuously move the user upward, in reference to God being the higher power elevated above. The authority of religion is also expressed using a high ceiling and double height space. Higher ceilings create a more open space and allow the user to truly experience it. Higher ceiling spaces affect the users mental state as well, creating a space of awe and allowing the user to think freely and more abstractly. Those who believe in God and Jesus Christ live in awe of Him and the space provides and opportunity for users to pray and connect in relationship with God and reverence of Him. The Chapel is a solitary volume separating the outside world, a retreat for focus on nature, God’s creation. Intentional openings allow light in the space and open up views of the sea and nature. Small specific openings control strategic beams of light and large openings flood the space with light. Stained glass transmits light, and its colors and forms allude to nature. People are in awe of light and nature, so the spaces main design elements and focus is light and nature. Connection to nature and light are important because God is the creator of all things and He is known as the light of world bringing light in the darkness. God’s beauty and His very character is displayed in it.

ASSIGNMENT 10: What is the composition of the process of travel through a transportation facility in your memory (focusing on wayfinding and experience)?

Wayfinding is the most important element that should be the forefront of design in an airport, where many programs and specific needs collide. Large amounts of all different people trying to move from one place to another on a time restraint and stressful process need wayfinding through the space. Signage throughout the entire airport should be eye catching and easy to read, located both above for all to see and down low at eye level. Arrows with signs or on the floor help give specific direction and more detailed wayfinding. arrows for direction, located up high and at eye level. Positioning of furniture and rope partitions help to control mass groups of people through an organized circulation. Roped partitions leading to service desks help to keep an organized order as well. Circulation paths are large enough for people to pass through the airport with luggage too. Seating is located in every space to offer space for resting or waiting. Material changes offer zoning for circulation paths to support wayfinding. Service desks and flight information boards are dispersed throughout for constant user help when needed. Amenities like restaurants and retail shops have their own unique design as a space within a space, offering a whole different environment. These amenities fulfill users’ needs and create enjoyment and entertainment, breaking up the stress of travel and transforming it into a fun experience. Signage and clear circulation paths create order and bring comfort in a stressful situation.

ASSIGNMENT 11: Where is your memorable cultural place in you context (focusing on way finding and sequence)?

ABSTRACT

The Oak Park Community Recreation Center serves its community with a space that is easy to pass through and enjoy. The use of color and glass helps signify the front of the building and draws the eye and user into the entry space. The three-story high building segment emphasizes the entry location around the building. The yellow color highlights the vertical circulation, leading the eye up to the other floors and to the stairs and elevator which move the user there. The color also lines the hallway walking path to other community spaces and the locker room. The use of glass helps with visual connection to other surrounding spaces, so guests can see other spaces and better understand where to go and how to get there. Clear walkways and space give the user pathways to follow to achieve their destination, users don’t have to make decisions for routing because specific paths are given. The vertical circulation is located in close proximity and in view as soon as the user enters the building. Lastly, zoned areas and visual elements provide a landmark for maneuvering to and around.

ASSIGNMENT 13: Creative solutions beyond the rules and regulations in your context?

(Ex: ADA, WELL, LEED)

I chose the Mason lane farm because I found it really interesting for an agricultural building to be LEED Certified. Both the site and Barn B played a role in its silver LEED Accreditation. A barn used for farm operations, equipment servicing, and hay storage goes above and beyond to produce a creative structure and system that works with the environment and helps the environment. The building uses passive sustainable design working along with the climate and landscape of the space. Both the building design and site work together as a holistic system, the environment and built environment coming together to fulfill the system needs of the farm. There are site gutters along the roof eave that move water run off from storms and rain to be collected in the basin. The site is closer to perimeter to preserve the dark sky without adding light pollution to the environment. Barn B uses locally sourced bamboo as its building material, bamboo grows fast and can quickly be renewed, an invasive plant put to good use. The built pattern with bamboo creates natural ventilation for hay storage, allowing it to dry out. Concrete footings allow the open-air structure to stand against strong winds. Materiality choice from recycled materials and local bamboo shaped the building strategies.
