Ryan McDonald Wheelchair Access2

Project- During my first year in graduate school I was allowed to look into an independent topic that interested me in two separate classes. I chose to continue my investigation in wheelchair accessible design due to my growing interest in the area. Both projects involved selecting a human condition, researching, analyzing the issue from an architectural perspective, and presenting the findings. Process- In both classes research was an imperative first step in the process. The course Design with the Brain in Mind was oriented toward the cognitive side of analysis, while Human Factors in Design took a more broad overview on human interaction in design. After researching the topic and conducting interviews, the information as well as a site was analyzed and presented. Product- The final presentation involved a documentary video, a literature review essay, and site analytical essay. The documentary video was later used in an undergraduate lecture by the instructor.
