Studio 3 expands upon prior learning by challenging students to design for multiple stakeholders, including the general public, within a commercial setting that incorporates commerce: buying, selling, trading, and/or sharing, etc. while shopping, eating, dining, and/or being entertained. Within this context, tangible and intangible characteristics of human comfort will be explored. Some of the parameters and conditions defining human comfort are climatological, environmental, ergonomic, economic, cultural, technological, and social. To evaluate and meet these needs, students will be expected to understand the fundamentals of universal design strategies and employ them in their work. They will also need to question the relationships between place, activity, and community. Complemented by concurrent studies in Ecological Design for Interiors, students will situate their work in adaptive reuse sites facilitating an investigation of energy and resource conservation while designing interiors that balance use, energy, and enjoyment in a sustainable manner.
