As general compass points for designers, scientific research suggests that healthcare environments will support coping with stress and promote wellness if they are designed to foster: 1. Sense of control; 2. Access to social support; 3. Access to positive distractions, and lack of exposure to negative distractions; A growing amount of scientific evidence suggests that nature elements or views can be effective as stress-reducing, positive distractions that promote wellness in healthcare environments. In considering the needs of different types of users of healthcare facilities--patients, visitors, staff--it should be kept in mind that these groups sometimes have conflicting needs or orientations with respect to control, social support, and positive distractions. It is important for designers to recognize such differing orientations as potential sources of conflict and stress in health facilities (Schumaker and Pequegnat, 1989). For instance, a receptionist in a waiting area may understandably wish to control the programs on a television that he or she is continuously exposed to; however, patients in the waiting area may experience some stress if they cannot select the programs or elect to turn off the television. Some staff may prefer bright, arousing art for corridors and patient rooms where they spend much of their time; however, for many patients, such art may increase rather than reduce stress. A difficult but important challenge for designers is to be sensitive to such group differences in orientations, and try to assess the gains or losses for one group vis-a-vis the other in attempting to achieve the goal of psychologically supportive design. Designers should also consider programs or strategies that combine or mesh different stress-reducing components. For example, it seems possible that a program enabling patients to select at least some of their wall art or pictures would foster both control and access to positive distraction. As another example, the theory outlined in this paper suggests that an "artist-in-residence" program, wherein an artist with a caring, supportive disposition would work with patients, might foster social support in addition to control and access to positive distraction. Running through this presentation is the conviction that scientific research can be useful in informing the intuition, sensitivity, and creativity of designers, and thereby can help to create psychologically supportive healthcare environments.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

It is a … is a book that is full of things I have never seen before, and full of new things to say about things I thought I knew well. It is a book about houses and about culture and about how each affects other, and it must stand as one of major works on history of modern housing. - Paul Goldberger, The New York Times Book Review Long before Betty Friedan wrote about the problem that had no name in The Feminine Mystique, a group of American feminists whose leaders included Melusina Fay Peirce, Mary Livermore, and Charlotte Perkins Gilman campaigned against isolation in home and confinement to domestic life as basic cause of their unequal position in society.The Grand Domestic Revolution reveals innovative plans and visionary strategies of these persistent women, who developed theory and practice of what Hayden calls in pursuit of economic independence and social equality. The material feminists' ambitious goals of socialized housework and child care meant revolutionizing American home and creating community services. They raised fundamental questions about relationship of men, women, and children in industrial society. Hayden analyzes utopian and pragmatic sources of feminists' programs for domestic reorganization and conflicts over class, race, and gender they encountered. This history of a little-known intellectual tradition challenging patriarchal notions of women's place and women's work offers a new interpretation of history of American feminism and a new interpretation of history of American housing and urban design. Hayden shows how material feminists' political ideology led them to design physical space to create housewives' cooperatives, kitchenless houses, day-care centers, public kitchens, and community dining halls. In their insistence that women be paid for domestic labor, material feminists won support of many suffragists and of novelists such as Edward Bellamy and William Dean Howells, who helped popularize their cause. Ebenezer Howard, Rudolph Schindler, and Lewis Mumford were among many progressive architects and planners who promoted reorganization of housing and neighborhoods around needs of employed women. In reevaluating these early feminist plans for environmental and economic transformation of American society and in recording vigorous and many-sided arguments that evolved around issues they raised, Hayden brings to light basic economic and spacial contradictions which outdated forms of housing and inadequate community services still create for American women and for their families.

Gary Cross provides a comparative and wide-ranging historical analysis of the work-and-spend ethic, exploring American, British and French patterns of organizing free time. Covering the emergence of a consumer society in the 1920s and 30s, through the mass consumerism of the 1950s to trends in the present day, he provides a new perspective on the history of consumerism by placing contemporary dilemmas and responses to the question of `time and money' in their historical context. He links the modern culture of consumerism with trends in work, leisure, cultural politics and political economy to create a subtle analysis of complex social phenomena.

Because printers also were the solicitors and editors of what they published, their workshops served as lively incubators for literacy and political discourse. By the mid-nineteenth century, however, this learning space was disrupted when the invention of the steam press reorganized the economy of the print industry. Steam presses were so expensive that they required capital outlays beyond the means of many printers. As a result, print jobs were outsourced, the processes of editing and printing were split, and, in tight competition, print apprentices became low-paid mechanics with no more access to the multi-skilled environment of the craft-

Why did an entirely new social institution, the coffeehouse, emerge as the primary place for consumption of this new drink? In this lively book, Brian Cowan locates the answers to these questions in the particularly British combination of curiosity, commerce, and civil society. Cowan provides the definitive account of the origins of coffee drinking and coffeehouse society, and in so doing he reshapes our understanding of the commercial and consumer revolutions in Britain during the long Stuart century. Britain's virtuosi, gentlemanly patrons of the arts and sciences, were profoundly interested in things strange and exotic. Cowan explores how such virtuosi spurred initial consumer interest in coffee and invented the social template for the first coffeehouses. As the coffeehouse evolved, rising to take a central role in British commercial and civil society, the virtuosi were also transformed by their own invention.

Escape rooms have emerged as powerful pedagogical instruments that combine experiential learning with game-based approaches to address the limitations of traditional health education methods. The chapter analyzes four main types of educational escape rooms: physical, digital, hybrid, and virtual reality-based implementations. Drawing from constructivist and experiential learning theories, evidence from multiple health disciplines demonstrates significant benefits, including increases in student motivation, enhanced collaborative learning outcomes, and strengthened clinical decision-making skills across medical education, nursing, pharmacy, physiotherapy, and veterinary medicine. Future directions highlight emerging research opportunities in the long-term effects of learning and technological innovations. The chapter concludes that escape rooms represent a valuable addition to health education pedagogy, requiring careful planning and alignment with clear learning objectives to achieve optimal educational outcomes.

This issue leads to a … Matching the most suitable material for furniture design in interiors is a challenging task for designers, as it requires them to perceive the material’s attributes. This issue leads to a quest to understand the designer’s approach to selecting materials for furniture in the design process. Considering the aesthetic, technical, and ecological advantages of wood, this research aims to understand the position of wood material through methodologies used in design studies. Given that wood has been utilized in buildings, interiors, and furniture for centuries, it raises the question of its relevance to the new generation of designers. To investigate this, students of design studies were tasked with creating a product utilizing the knowledge gained regarding the phases of product development and the latest findings related to material assignment procedures. Design process is one that continually incorporates new procedures driven by technological advancements. The innovative approach of Speculative and Critical Design (SCD) can enhance the perception of creative thought; however, a conventional approach provides a reliable foundation that encourages further exploration and adherence to the established phases of design. Material assignment techniques such as Product-Driven Design (PDD) and Material-Driven Design (MDD) also play a significant role in comprehending the material properties and methods of product material allocation. Gaining insight into both product development processes and material assignment techniques can illuminate the role of wood as a material within design studies, particularly among students. This research focuses on comparing the methodologies and assignment techniques derived from the existing literature and studies, centered around a project aimed at understanding the willingness of design students to utilize wood materials. Ultimately, it is disclosed that the students plan to utilize wood as their primary material, in conjunction with traditional methodological approaches, and in accordance with PDD, indicating their focus on the requirements of the product.

Compared to other elements of design space arrangement, such decor has its own characteristics. It is used for a short time, so it is often made of short-lived, vulnerable natural materials. But it is especially important that it is intended to create an appropriate emotional atmosphere, and not for everyday, household use. In the past, a changeable theme decor was intended for magical accompaniment of various ceremonial rituals. Each ethnic culture has formed its own traditional visual and semantic characteristics for it. They were perceived as a magical talisman, so they remained unchanged for a long time. The modern function of aesthetic decoration of space, the changeable theme decor has received relatively recently. A number of objective circumstances, globalization challenges, commercial arguments have become factors that led to the replacement of autochthonous traditions of ritual decor with foreign ones, borrowed from other, more economically and politically capable ethnic cultures. Changeable theme decor, as a type of design product, has a great potential to influence the national and cultural self-identification of an individual and society as a whole. At the same time, for modern Ukrainian society, a very important task is the revival of national identity. It would be advisable to use the features and advantages of changeable theme decor to return Ukrainian ethnocultural traditions to our subject-spatial environment. Ukraine already has successful experience in organizing festive installations in urban public spaces. It is advisable to supplement it with the organization of mass industrial production of high-quality, competitive changeable theme decor, with traditional features and characteristics for Ukrainian culture.

The primary objective was to assess artisans' awareness of environmental issues related to the use of rattan. Design/Methodology/Approach: The population of artisans directly involved in the trade in the central enclave of Accra was asked to respond to a questionnaire. A cross-sectional approach, which allows for collecting data that reflects the current circumstances, was used. The convenience sampling technique was employed to collect data from 32 respondents. Findings: It was found that rattan is widely accepted for both indoor and outdoor use, especially in living rooms, parlours, and balconies. Artisans demonstrated a strong awareness of the need for sustainable practices, although they rely heavily on government support for effective resource management. Research Limitation: The respondents were predominantly urban or peri-urban dwellers. Practical Implication: The outcome of this study would enhance the sustainability of the aesthetic rattan handicraft industry, its contribution to eco-friendly interior design, and the subsequent ripple effects of reducing global warming through carbon sequestration. Social Implication: This paper advocates for the development of rattan plantations and the handicraft industry in Ghana, thereby reducing rural and urban poverty and contributing to a decline in carbon emissions, which are crucial tools for achieving Sustainable Development Goals 1 and 13. Originality/Value: This study advances beyond conventional sustainability metrics by introducing the concept of "functional sustainability" as a design approach, where materials must simultaneously meet contemporary performance requirements while preserving their traditional ecological and cultural functions. This represents a significant theoretical advancement in the discourse on sustainable design.

In contemporary times, the succession of different catastrophes has accelerated the perception of a global situation in a state of perpetual balance. Taking the threat of a more or less imminent end(s) of the world(s) to its extremes, this research explores the idea of collecting and archiving the architectural responses developed in contexts marked by specific criticalities, hypothesizing a time capsule to be entrusted to posterity in a future post-apocalyptic society. By embracing an intentionally speculative narrative, Archrypt aims to define a repertoire of theories and projects, delineating a cultural archive that simultaneously embodies both an operational and memory-preserving device for a distant and uncertain future. Archrypt is a critical work on the necessity of transmitting “the memory of architecture” and “the architecture of memory.” Archrypt is an active experimental device that interrogates the disciplinary role within a state of permacrisis.y role within a perennial crisis.
