Schwanbeck guest editor notes Whether with fingertip, legs, or by vehicle, people navigate dynamic seamless environments. Along the way, volumes of information instantly becomes accessible. Seeking to either play, purchase, learn, socially interact, or wayfind, environmental communication serves all human needs. Whether destinations be physical or virtual, the built environment traversed is increasingly being integrated with immersive and customizing technologies. The human experience is being affected in profound and accelerated ways. Planning for effective environmental communication has always required holistic thinking, an inclusive design process and empathy for people’s spa- tial narratives. Designing for environmental communication has provided the convergence of several related fields: architecture, landscape architec- ture, graphic design, industrial design, interaction design, anthropology, and cognitive science. Environmental communication is about building positive human experiences that provide people a sense of place, vital information accessed, comfort in spaces inhabited, and destinations found. For design curriculum today, how are they adjusting to accommodate and sufficiently prepare students? How shall communication design education develop a necessary knowledge base, new pedagogical methods, more inclusive design process, and elevate human centered priorities? This special issue on environmental communication begins to explore these questions. Beginning with Map Design for Complex Architecture, co-authors, Karen Cheng and Sarah Peréz-Kriz report on the design and testing of a hand-held map helping patients wayfind within a large medical complex. The second article, The Environment is not in the Head, Ashley Walton, provides another wayfinding viewpoint. She proposes that static representations of expe- rience (like maps) may fail to capture the interactive idiosyncrasies within specific environments across time and provides an alternative. In Learning Design by Designing Learning Experiences, Lisa Fontaine, shares classroom findings where strategic critical thinking skills are developed through the design of interactive museum exhibitions. The last two articles explore the interrelationships between environmental communication and sociocultural elements. With, On the Wall, Patricia Cué, analyzes the dynamics that operate behind vernacular design and their capacity of defining the shape and use of public and private spaces. Lastly, Rebuilding Perceptions, Andrew Schwan- beck, explores the potential value that environmental communication design can create to help promote and improve perceptions of a neighbor- hood within a segregated urban landscape. Hope you enjoy this special issue. Oscar Fernández 4 Visible Language 48.2 Map Design for Complex Architecture: A User Study of Maps & Wayfinding Karen Cheng & Sarah Pérez-Kriz The following study seeks to determine if a printed, paper map can aid visi- tors in navigating through complex architectural environments. Specifically, we report on the design and testing of two different paper maps intended to help patients find dental clinics and related offices within a large medical and health sciences center. As part of an iterative design process, we first identi- fied a variety of design factors that influence the cognitive aspects of using maps during wayfinding, and redesigned an existing map of the environ- ment based on those principles. We then conducted user testing to further determine what information should be included or excluded on the map and to see if changes in format

  • Accessibility Through User-Centred Design and Inclusive Design Processes
    ACCESSIBILITY THROUGH USER-CENTRED DESIGN AND INCLUSIVE DESIGN PROCESSES 2014 Richard Herriott Side 1 af 3 This PhD dissertation addresses the subject of accessibility through user- centred and Inclusive Design processes (ID). The project takes as its starting point the observation that the concept of Inclusive Design is not adequately delimited. The supporting literature in the field of ID is structured around the fact that the needs of individuals with reduced capabilities compared to the norm (referred to for convenience as "the elderly and disabled") have not been properly addressed by standard design processes. In response to this fact, ID is a proposed design method to find more effective means to improve the usability of consumer goods. The method focusses on using a wide range of techniques to identify user needs, chiefly deployed at the start of the design process but also emphasises involvement at middle to final stages. The research question that this dissertation is centred upon is: can ID be delimited by examining design for accessibility in the areas of assistive technology (AT) and public transport (PT) with reference to consumer product design? Whilst a considerable body of literature exists on why ID should be done (technical and ethical reasons) and on methods to achieve this aim, there has not been made an attempt to define the limits of ID methods. No process or design method is universal. There is a means, ID, and an objective or end, accessibility for a much broader range of users but in existing literature the means and ends are not disentangled. Whilst accessibility is a constant requirement, the methods outlined to achieve this end are presented on the assumption that approaches intended for design for mainstream consumer products are universally applicable.

  • What Is Universal Design…Inclusive Design…Design-For-All?
    What is universal design…inclusive design…design-for-all? …a framework for the design of places, things, information, communication and policy that focuses on the user, on the widest range of people operating in the widest range of situations without special or separate design. Or, more simply: Human-Centered design (of everything) with everyone in mind Universal Design Principles: Equitable Use: The design does not disadvantage or stigmatize any group of users. Flexibility in Use: The design accommodates a wide range of individual preferences and abilities. Simple, Intuitive Use: Use of the design is easy to understand, regardless of the user’s experience, knowledge, language skills, or current concentration level. Perceptible Information: The design communicates necessary information effectively to the user, regardless of ambient conditions or the user’s sensory abilities. Tolerance for Error: The design minimizes hazards and the adverse consequences of accidental or unintended actions. Low Physical Effort: The design can be used efficiently and comfortably, and with a minimum of fatigue. Size and Space for Approach & Use: Appropriate size and space is provided for approach, reach, manipulation, and use, regardless of the user’s body size, posture, or mobility. [Developed by a group of US designers and design educators from five organizations in 1997. Principles are copyrighted to the Center for Universal Design, School of Design, State University of North Carolina at Raleigh. The Principles are in use internationally.] Relationship between Legally Mandated Accessibility & Inclusive Design Legally mandated requirements for accessible design, within a civil or human rights context, provide a vital basis for autonomy and equal opportunity for people with disabilities.

  • INCLUSIVE DESIGN Topic Leader: Professor Nicholas J
    INCLUSIVE DESIGN Topic Leader: Professor Nicholas J. Ward Assistant Professor Bernadette McCrory Associate Teaching Professor Frank Marchak Assistant Teaching Professor Maria Velazquez Definition It is socially responsible to design products, services and systems that are responsive to the needs of most people. Such design should also be compatible with the culture of user communities and sustain their local environments. In this context, Inclusive Design1 is an intentional process to involve all relevant user communities in the design process to create solutions that provide usable and meaningful access to products, services and systems for most people .2 Successful Inclusive Design can improve quality of life amongst diverse user communities in a way that respects their local culture and protects the shared environment. Inclusive Design can produce a single solution by integrating features to address the needs of diverse user communities. For example, this staircase integrates steps with ramps for access by users requiring wheelchair. Inclusive Design can also produce a single solution with special features to include a target user community but is also usable by other users. For example, Oxo Good Grip3 is a utensil design with oversized handles for arthritic users to comfortably operate them, which is also comfortable for other users.4 1 “Inclusive Design” originated in Europe and primarily focuses on the design of technology and considers all forms of exclusion. The related term “Universal Design” originated in the USA and primarily

  • The Economic Explanation of Inclusive Design in Different Stages of Product Life Time
    INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON ENGINEERING DESIGN, ICED19 5-8 AUGUST 2019, DELFT, THE NETHERLANDS THE ECONOMIC EXPLANATION OF INCLUSIVE DESIGN IN DIFFERENT STAGES OF PRODUCT LIFE TIME Li, Fang (1,3); Dong, Hua (2) 1: College of Architecture and Urban Planning, Tongji University; 2: College of Design and Innovation, Tongji University; 3: Institute of International Exchange, Shanghai Open University ABSTRACT The static data obtained from user research are not sufficient to accurately reflect the change of the user's needs and capabilities in different contexts. Not paying enough attention to the economic feasibility of design solutions makes inclusive design face challenges in commercialization. In this paper, the user's demand is regarded as a function of the dynamic interaction between the user's characteristics and the environment. The inclusion problem is defined from an economic perspective. By distinguishing the stages before and after the delivery of a product, different economic properties of the product are defined. Then the two stages are analysed from the perspective of investment and consumption respectively, and the competition criterion of inclusivity distribution and the reasons for exclusion are deduced. According to the causes of different problems in the two stages, the research direction of inclusive solutions is pointed out, and the economical sustainability of inclusive design is analysed. This paper emphasizes that the goal of inclusive design lies not only in the partial and temporary elimination of exclusion, but also in how to distribute the freedom of choice.

  • User-Centered Approach to Product Design for People with Visual Impairments
    https://doi.org/10.24867/GRID-2018-p33 Original scientific paper USER-CENTERED APPROACH TO PRODUCT DESIGN FOR PEOPLE WITH VISUAL IMPAIRMENTS Monika Rastovac 1 , Jurica Dolić 2 , Jesenka Pibernik 2 , Lidija Mandić 2 1Q-Bit d.o.o., Zagreb, Croatia 2University of Zagreb, Faculty of Graphic Arts, Zagreb, Croatia Abstract: The aim of this research was to investigate the application of the user-centred design process to the design and development of a product and it’s packaging suitable for people with visual impairments. The product and packaging had to be accessible to stakeholders on both sides - not only to visually impaired end users but also to the workers with visual impairments in the production process. The accessibility features had to function in conjunction with other presentation and functional requirements of the product and packaging. In order to adapt the design for people with visual impairments, research of optimal design process was conducted using combination of contextual design with other user-centred methods. Rapid prototyping was used to create full-scale physical packaging models and product moulding tools for evaluation. Additional subjective evaluation using semantic differential was carried on users without visual impairments to establish the perception of pragmatic and hedonic quality of the packaging. Key words: packaging, product design, visual impairment, Braille, user-centred Design, contextual design 1. INTRODUCTION User-Centred Design (UCD), which is a subset of Human-Centred Design (HCD), is an approach to design of interactive products in which the deep understanding of users’ needs and potentials presents a key factor for design decisions throughout the design process.
