The built environment communicates value and belief structures to users. Research on gendered messaging in designed classroom spaces has shown its impact on students; thus, we sought to determine how classroom designs can have different gendered perceptions between those who use the space and those working in the design industry. In two studies, we collected survey data from undergraduates ( n = 97), and then employees at design firms ( n = 88) reacting to masculine versus feminine design patterns in classroom renders. The two groups exhibited strong, opposite correlations between their perceptions of femininity and sense of belonging, plus differences within the femininity scale itself. These findings show the importance of closer examinations of masculinity and femininity as gender constructs, and the need to further study how perceptions of designers differ from the perceptions of users.

In this paper, I critique the use of anthropometry in interior design. First, I present an overview of the problematic history of anthropometry, revealing how supposedly objective measurements of human physical diversity were used by scientists, colonial administrators, eugenicists, generals, and engineers to advance immoral projects of racism, domination, control, and violence. Next, examining a case study of the ergonomic design for a seated computer operator, I discuss the practical difficulties designers encounter when relying upon anthropometric data to solve design problems. Discussion of the limitations and inadequacies of scientific/technocratic discourses, such as anthropometry, for understanding cultural objects, such as human bodies, frames the conclusion. I call for the development of new paradigms for understanding the human body in interior space that are responsive to and supportive of the widest possible diversity of human physical and social forms.

The purpose of this study was to identify the elements of the interior environment and their attributes that contribute to interior wayfinding. While the majority of the literature on wayfinding has examined specific causal relationships, few studies have systematically investigated the wayfinding process of users to uncover several environmental elements and attributes that may influence wayfinding, particularly from a qualitative approach. Thus, an exploratory research design comprising qualitative methods and quantitative descriptive techniques was adopted. Eleven participants (female, n = 6; male, n = 5) were asked to locate 12 destinations in two university buildings. The primary data types were a think-aloud protocol and digital video recording. Findings showed that the environmental elements that contributed to wayfinding were landmarks, corridors, nodes, regions, stairs, central spaces, courtyards, entrances, connecting halls, voids, doors, interior windows, and outdoor views. The attributes of identified environmental elements that influence wayfinding are reported. The outcomes of the present study are expected to further our theoretical understanding of the phenomena and provide a foundation for additional investigations to develop guidelines and recommendations for design decision-making in practice.

The designers of the Arts and Crafts movement attempted to articulate the democratic power of the domestic interior. The legacies of these ideas are shaped by house museums such as Kelmscott Manor (home of William Morris) and 7 Hammersmith Terrace (Emery Walker’s House, publicized as “The Arts and Crafts Home”). Lived in and maintained by female descendants, May Morris and Dorothy Walker, and their female companions, these house museums invite a reassessment of the role of the Arts and Crafts movement in feminist and queer histories of interior design. In this article, I demonstrate some of the ways in which house museums and the Arts and Crafts movement can offer opportunities to expose some of the disciplinary structures that hinder an inclusive history of interior design. Situating its case studies in the context of the history of heritage preservation, and engaging with feminist scholarship, I argue that one strategy for exposing and challenging hidden biases in the field is to recognize homemaking, preservation, and curating as forms of creative labor that have made crucial contributions to the history of interior design. Focusing primarily on gender but also paying attention to questions of class, race, and sexuality, I consider the potential and the limits of the Arts and Crafts house museum’s capacity to contribute to intersectional histories of interior design.

At the beginning of the day, in the cool of the early morning, as light and color are beginning to come back into the world, bring attention to the quality of inner space, the space in this room and the space in the world around us. Developing that attention, we notice the space that’s always here, the space around things, the space within things. This helps us to recollect, to awaken to the inner space, the space of our minds which receives and contains, which encompasses all thoughts, feelings, perceptions, moods (Amaro, 2020, p. 543).

Transparency has become a key component of K-12 school architecture, intended to support active learning and foster lively social environments. But transparency’s social affordances are complex. Previous scholarship has demonstrated visibility allows for natural surveillance that may impact vulnerable users differently than their less vulnerable peers. Thus, the interdisciplinary research team surveyed user perceptions of transparent features of non-classroom spaces in a contemporary U.S. middle school building. After determining patterns of perceptions using latent class analyses, variations across classes regarding participant demographics, health, well-being, and family functioning were assessed. We identified three classes of responses. A “multiple affordances” class ( n = 41 parents, 52 children) largely composed of participants unfamiliar with the building, whom perceived both advantages and disadvantages to glass spaces. A “glass is safe” class ( n = 52 parents, 39 children) who appreciated glass spaces as good places to hang out with friends that allowed users to detect potential threats. And a “glass exposes” class ( n = 31 parents, 33 children) who saw few benefits to glass spaces and perceived glass environments as not well protected. The glass exposes class was the most racially diverse, had the lowest family income, and reported comparably worse health, well-being, and family functioning than peers in other classes. To support vulnerable students and families, we recommend designers of secondary schools use a wider variety of levels of enclosure in non-classroom spaces to create more refined anchoring qualities and to offer richer selections of social settings for student interactions during their breaks.

Despite the desire of the postindustrial workforce, particularly women, for flexible work arrangements, only 4% of Canadian employees performed their job duties remotely before the pandemic. However, this segment grew dramatically in March 2020 when the COVID-19 lockdowns forced office employees to work from home (WFH). Because the merging of employment with the dwelling has affected the genders unevenly, we focused on the WFH experiences of women, living in the metropolitan area of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, with occupations that could be performed remotely during the pandemic. We further explored how women used their agency to overcome material and behavioral challenges encountered in the home workspace by implementing innovative modifications. Using a mixed-methods approach, data were collected from 96 women with an online questionnaire, followed by 15 semi-structured interviews. The results showed that each participant created a functional workspace (if one did not already exist), and successfully performed their paid employment at home. Despite the difficulties—some resulting from the pandemic—that complicated WFH, almost every woman wanted to continue working remotely in some capacity. The findings suggest that remote work is a viable labor model for women who want to combine paid and unpaid labor in a WFH nexus within the dwelling. Examples of home-workspace innovations are provided, revealing new design considerations that could influence residential design—especially in smaller homes—as the post-pandemic labor force evolves to include a larger segment of remote employees.
