An Observational Study of Older People’s Use of Standard U.S. Kitchens
An observational study was conducted to investigate older people’s ability to function effectively in a standard (non-custom design) kitchen. The goals of the study were to: (1) document behaviors observed during meal preparation; (2) identify problems independent elderly people have in the routine preparation and clean-up of meals in their home; and (3) recommend design modifications for the standard kitchen to meet the needs of older users. Par…
Simulation of Mobility Impairment
Universal design can be an elusive concept, even for the student of design or for the practicing designer. Simulation is a powerful learning tool for breaking through existing perceptions and opening the door to understanding and committment to the concept of universal design. This paper reports on the use of simulation of mobility impairment through a wheelchair exercise by interior design students in a universal design course. A description of …
Staying in Place
Most American families accommodate to changing needs in housing over the life-cycle by moving from one house to another as need, economic ability, and life-style preferences dictate. The mobility patterns of farm families are quite different; it is not uncommon for succeeding generations of a family to remain on the homestead, and to occupy the same house as their ancestors. This study describes the housing on 47 centennial farms in northeastern …
A Research Note
A phenomenological investigation was made of older people’s experiences and feelings regarding important housing environments across the life span. Qualitative descriptions were gathered from a small sample of retired men and women living in their own homes. This information was collected through in-depth interviews, personal documents, and participant observation. Although individual memories of favorite homes varied, a pattern emerged in the fe…
