Human centered Accessibility and Ergonomic Design Strategies in Indian Institutional Architecture: A Study of Orphanage?Old Age Homes
Subject area: Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities · Area of research: Architecture
Abstract
This study provides human-centered accessibility and ergonomic design in Indian institutional architecture, focusing on integrated and convenient orphanage?old age home centers. This study is done by comparing Indian standards (CPWD, NBC) with international standers (ADA, ISO) along with architecture standers Neufert Data-Edition (by-Ernst Neufert). This research compares and identifies the gaps, additional data and propose the ergonomic guidelines for Indian building designs along with convenient accessibility for all age groups. Providing detailed architecture solution on accessible toilet and bathroom blocks, functional room layouts, ergonomics fixtures are implemented to support users with physical and cognitive needs. Barrier free circulation, adaptable furniture, required fixtures along with planned openings and Corridor. This study emphasizes connectivity and adaptive design strategies
