Ergonomics & Anthropometrics
Ergonomics: is the science of design to enhance human comfort and performance. Proper ergonomic design is necessary to prevent repetitive strain injuries, which can develop over time and can lead to long-term disability. - So one had to know the correct height which the desks needed to be, space between each person, making sure that every ‘student’ can see what’s being taught, etc.-Studio
Anthropometrics: Anthropometry is the measure of people (anthro=man, pometry=measure). The study of anthropometry is the study of human body measurements to assist in understanding human physical variations and aid in anthropological classification. Review of the Hub-light flow (natural/artificial)
-electricity
-seating and placement
-sound
-flow of the space
-materials (gumpoles and marine plywood)
Creating a good performance space for each student:- Getting a decent amount of space to work within
- Storage for all the equipment=neat interior
- Simple lines within the room so as not to distract them with their creativity
- Should be an open and allow natural light to intercede/penetrate the interior
- Allow that the students can learn from each other-so group them instead of putting them on an island

PRECEDENT FUNCTIONAL PRECEDENT: SPONGE/ART PAVILLION-sponge architects Pavilion can change according to the need-showcases its versatility:-when closed, it functions as a closed capsule protecting the art.
-pulled further apart, it serves as a light resource (transparent PVC foil) and preserves the artwork from outside conditions.
-pulled to its maximum position, there’s enough space for presentations, a small cinema/vernissage.
-the outdoor stage serves as the entrance of the pavilion, catwalk/as public furniture.
Function:-stores art
-showcases art
-perform presentations
-watch ‘artsy’ films
-serves as a seat
-ramp for catwalk
TECHNOLOGICAL PRECEDENT: HOUSE TZANEEN- ora joubert Materials used: Timber, masonry and Gumpoles Built in a timer frame, it combines the climate considerations (humid tropical climate/subtropics) with its skeletal construction, its spatial layout and visual aspects= a unified and fully functional home. Used a simple design in a quirky way-bright colours with dark warm timber frame INITIATING DESIGN CREATING THE SPATIAL LAYOUT FOR EACH ROOM - (considering each need): Workshop – Place for students to work in- Storage for art materials
- Working desks
- Portable basin (to clean equipment)
- Board/presentation area
- Teachers space
- Good ventilation
- Room for a kiln?
Gallery – Store art - Showcase art
- Space should be calm and inviting
- Good lighting
- Should be enough space for people to walk about
- Public space
- Interior should be simple (art should stand out)
Hosting artist’s studio – place to rest- Space to plan classes
- Place to work on their own art
- Storage for books and materials
- Private space
IMPLEMENTING THE PRECEDENT WITH THE DESIGN Gumpole and marine ply specification:-doing a plan view of the hub
-doing a section (where those specifications really come into play)
-then completing the elevations
Trying to make it as compact as possible-even tho frankly speaking mine is not that tiny! Looking for design elements where it could be used for 2 purposes, not just a singular 1Working Model 3
