Basically, humans are finite creatures. It cannot live in nature so it needs space. In addition, the development of science and human behavior (human behavior) makes it even more taken into account, especially in designing human living spaces. This approach is known as Behavioral Architecture, which is now an important aspect of architecture!
Get to know Behavioral Architecture
Before discussing behavioral architecture, it is necessary to note that behavioral comes from the word behaviorism or a flow that is based on human behavior. The word human behavior is related to physical activity. On the other hand, architectural design is a physical form of the building. That is, Behavioral Architecture is an approach in architecture that is based on human behavior or in short, buildings can be a facilitator of behavior but also a barrier to the occurrence of that behavior.
Theoretically, this approach still leaves various views. The reason is, for some researchers, human behavior is defined without including the emotional aspect. However, according to Maslow, human behavior is influenced by other aspects that are divided into levels including physiological needs, security, social, esteem and self-realization. For this reason, the study of behavioral architecture is often juxtaposed with environmental psychology. Psychologically, all human behavior, personality, temperament and emotions are determined by sensory experience. So it makes sense that psychological studies need to be considered.
Generally, the frequency of human activities in one area shows a constant pattern. That is, patterns of human behavior can be detected and this needs to be taken into account by architects in designing the physical space by considering the variables of space, lighting, furniture and physical needs of users. As a result, the pattern that is actually trying to be formed is as follows:
Anthropometry, One of the Determinants of Behavioral Architecture
Psychologically, in addition to sensory experience, comfort is an aspect that also needs to be considered. If the line is drawn back, the variables to consider are aspects that are directly related to comfort. Convenience can be present on the basis of conformity.
In designing space, architects have external determinants that are also related to non-stop activities, such as work and physical conditions which will also have an impact on the selection of furniture and the size of the room. Therefore, it is important for the architect to know the dimensions of the body and the needs of the individuals living in the space. For example, the design of public spaces and houses for families has quite a contrast. Public spaces need various supporting facilities for people with disabilities, such as stairs for wheelchairs. This also needs to be considered in designing the house, if the individual living in it has special needs. Occupational factors must also be considered. The reason is, the room must be able to support constant activities carried out every day and make it easier for humans to do it.
Anthropometric Measurement Tool for Basic Architectural Design
Human variability and diversity can be based on anthropometric data obtained through the measurement process. As explained above, Anthropometric measuring instruments are Portable Anthropometry and Anthropometry Chairs. Both can measure the dimensions of the human body starting from the dimensions of sitting and standing, including the dimensions of the face.
1. Anthropometric Chair
The Anthropometry Chair from PT Solo Abadi Indonesia is the first anthropometric chair in the world. With qualified specifications, the Anthropometry Chair has gone through a calibration process that verifies the anthropometric data generated. Not only that, the Anthropometry Chair can measure up to 34 dimensions of the human body.
2. Anthropometry Portable Complete Set Series, OFF to 25%!
Portable Anthropometry is an anthropometric measuring tool that can measure up to 100 dimensions of the human body. Unlike the Anthropometry Chair, Portable Anthropometry can be used anywhere because it has a portable design.
From the narrative above, it can be concluded that anthropometric data of the human body affecting an architecture design. An instrument that is precise, easy to move and has complete functions is required. Portable Anthropometry from PT. Solo Abadi Indonesia is an innovation of 100 Anthropometric Measurements in a set of Anthropometric tools. This instrument can also be used to take measurements in a sitting and standing position, according to the body features required in Forensic Anthropometry.
