Human-Centered Factors: Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs: • Physiological (physical) • Safety and security • Love and belonging • Esteem • Self-Actualization

Human-Centered Factors: Anthropometrics: The study of measurements of the human body compared to surrounding space. Information can be helpful in space planning, furniture arrangement, and universal design. Example: The space needed for a wheel chair to turn in a bathroom.

Human-Centered Factors Proxemics: The study of human comfort in relationship to people and their interpersonal space. The number of people, the task at hand, and the feelings of the people involved determines the size of the “space bubble” required. Example: In a hotel lobby (strangers) you require more personal space than you do your hotel room (family or friends).

Human-Centered Factors Ergonomics: The study of human engineering. Human measurements and body positions are used to create an efficient working space to decrease fatigue and discomfort and to increase work output.

Human-Centered Factors Universal Design: • Term coined by North Carolina State University trained architect, Ron Mace, who advocated for people with disabilities. It is design of products and environments to be usable by all people, to the greatest extent possible without adaptation or specialized design.

Social Factors: • Culture • Traditions of the individuals using the space. • Religious considerations for the individual using the spaces. • Government • Laws that apply to building and design. • Building codes for the safety of the people using and living in the spaces.

Global Impact Factors: • Sourcing • Channels of distribution • Innovations

Environmental Factors: Designers must be respectful of the environment and the products used. • LEED-Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design • Sustainability • Ethics with design and environment • Aspects of Green Design
