Suggestions on
Preparation and
Review |
Session 1
Preparation: Define a good dwelling environment from the viewpoint of daily activities and behavior.
Review: Organize the overall process of dwelling-life planning.
Session 2
Preparation: Set an assumed user profile (age, household, work style, values).
Review: Learn how to derive requirements from the profile.
Session 3
Preparation: Sketch a simple diagram of daily circulation and main staying places in the dwelling.
Review: Link lifestyle and dwelling environment, and translate into planning conditions.
Session 4
Preparation: Consider adaptability for future changes (cohabitation, independence, WFH, caregiving, etc.).
Review: Organize life-cycle-based strategies for adaptability.
Session 5
Preparation: Assume a site and list key checks (solar, wind, surroundings).
Review: Read climate/context and connect to layout, openings, insulation, and measures.
Session 6
Preparation: Consider space needs for body dimensions and everyday movement.
Review: Explain the basis of dimensional and circulation planning using body size and motion.
Session 7
Preparation: Consider UD in terms of spatial use, not only equipment.
Review: Organize viewpoints for integrating UD into the overall plan.
Session 8
Preparation: Choose one daily-life challenge for older adults or people with disabilities and imagine dwelling difficulties.
Review: Convert considerations into concrete planning measures.
Session 9
Preparation: Consider how behavior changes as children grow.
Review: Organize key points by developmental stage and link to adaptability.
Session 10
Preparation: Consider safety and security risks from a spatial planning viewpoint.
Review: Organize measures as planning conditions and explain them as decision grounds.
Session 11
Preparation: Review one renovation case and decide what to change vs. keep.
Review: Organize approaches under existing conditions and update priorities.
Session 12
Preparation: Identify information needed for requirements programming.
Review: Confirm requirements as conditions, and articulate issues and strategies.
Session 13
Preparation: Select relationships to prioritize in zoning.
Review: Compare zoning/configuration options and justify the selected plan.
Session 14
Preparation: Summarize viewpoints for review and refinement in your own words.
Review: Refine through evaluate–improve–re-evaluate cycles, strengthening the rationale.
Session 15
Preparation: Bullet what must be communicated in the proposal.
Review: Finalize through representation and summarize overall learning.
