New Universally CAD System Usable Data Objects for Buildings, based on Universal Design and Required Spaces for Human Activities-The Design of Ergonomic and Economical Buildings can transform from Handicap Accessible towards Handicap Livable

摘要

The present design rules for designing the internal spaces for buildings taking into account Human Activities are very varied and can lead to insufficient spaces or economic losses related to over dimensioning. Three dimensional design objects for buildings have been mainly developed only for stationary furniture and appliances so that they can be used as Data Components in CAD systems. We propose that after measuring the 3D spaces (envelopes of volumes required) required For Human Activities such as washing a wheel chair patient in the shower the 3D Activity Spaces are transformed into 3D IFC Data Objects that can then be imported to the majority of the leading CAD systems related to designing buildings. The new Data Objects can then be fit to the internal spaces of the Handicap Accessible buildings. They answer the question "How much space is needed for Handicapped related activities?" We Can Achieve the optimal balance between the Universal Design functionality and the building cost. International co-operation in needed in specifying The series of movements for the activities by Health Care experts.
