Developing a Person‐Centric Design Philosophy
The literature suggests that the creation of environments for vulnerable populations such as the poor, the homeless, the elderly, the displaced, and the disabled is a critical imperative that has not been fully embraced by the design community. In this chapter the author argues that design professionals can benefit from intentionally adopting a philosophy that views human beings as cognitive, sensory‐influenced, and emotional beings. Further, the chapter shares author's personal pursuit of such a philosophy. The chapter also argues that the adoption of a human‐centric philosophical framework can assist design researchers who seek to embrace human welfare elements. This human‐centric framework is particularly helpful when addressing disadvantaged populations whose life experiences are different from those of the researcher. Finally, the chapter argues that the adoption of a philosophical framework supports the direction of design research and is in keeping with emerging trends in design practice.
