Application of ergonomics in design

ergonomic isthe study of the relationship between workers and their environment, esp the equipment they use

Design to body positions and motions of the tasks. Design reference points and zones -

seat reference points, arm rotation points, eye reference points or zones, visual envelopes, and mobility or comfort adjustment ranges.

Current situation about ergonomics in design

Seats are too deep - forces people either to sit at the front edge of the seat and slouch or sit with their feet sticking out. Solution for this would be to design a seat depth which is suitable for short users, or to offer different seat depths. Seat heights are too low or too high - designers must decide on their intended user population and use the appropriate seat height and slope. Angle of the backrest and the height of the backrest is not suitable for the purpose - solution would be to design high back chairs with a neck cushion, the position of which can be adjusted to suit the user.

Roppongi Hills, Japa

'chair that disappears in rainy days' What would isamu noguchi have created if he were still here? Tokujin yoshioka executed the concept with such a question in mind. Much like when shards of glass are dropped into water and their outline gradually disappears, this chair has similar effect in the rain. The chair is made from a massive block of glass.

Serpentine, Hyde park, London

Pavilion is based on a simple rectangular grid, which has been distorted to create a dynamic curvaceous form. It comprises interlocking timber beams, a material that accentuates the relationship between the Pavilion and the surrounding Park. It serves as a caf by day and a forum for learning, debate and entertainment at night. -Alvaro Siza
