This course explores specific Human Conditions; what they are and how they can affect the planning and design of the built environment. Students will learn about, and how to identify physical, psychological, and cultural human factors, as well as obstacles from the environment. They will discuss and analyze the specific influences from these factors and how they can be considered throughout the design process. Students will then synthesize practical design solutions that are best for human...

In this course students will learn about the trauma-informed design (TiD) approach, what trauma is, and why it matters in design. Students will practice communicating through both visualizations and spoken and written means about trauma-informed design. Students will be expected to include evidence (both peer-reviewed scientific evidence and precedence from contemporary sources, as well as other sources of sound evidence). This theory-into-practice applied approach will investigate if and how...
