Disease, injury, or congenital disorders result in an inability to
perform activities of daily living as effectively as others. Most
of these activities take place within and are dependent upon the
designed environment. This book presents the specialized area of
person-centered health care design, which focuses on a person's
design needs because of one or more health conditions and requires
foundational knowledge pertaining to infection control,
bio-physiology, neuroscience, and basic biomechanics. Whether the
designer has engaged in person- or condition-centered design, this
book examines the causes that bring about health conditions, such
as autoimmune disorders, chronic lung disease, muscular dystrophy,
and neurological disorders, and the effects these have on a
person's quality of life. Over forty various health conditions are
discussed in relation to assorted building typologies-schools,
group homes, rehabilitation and habilitation centers, and more-to
identify design solutions for modifying each environment to best
accommodate and support a person's needs. Dak Kopec encourages
readers to think critically and deductively about numerous health
conditions and how to best design for them. This book provides
students and practitioners a foundational framework that supports
the promotion of health, safety, and welfare as they pertain to a
person's physiological, psychological, and sociological well-being.
