Modern Style

Architecture and urban planning started to give up the traditional styles and start to create a further form in constructions at the beginning of the 20th century. After industrialization, the building was made more affordable and stronger by using new technology. The new technique created an opportunity for the designer to construct wider spaces and taller buildings. Also, by using new technology, mass production of materials became easier and more inexpensive. In addition, the new methods increased the speed of the construction process. On the other hand, as experience that the introduction of the modern period organized fast urbanization and construction in cities. Therefore, more homogenized cities and continuity structure appeared and the cultural, traditional and vernacular architecture was disappeared in designing. Because the architecture only accepted the modern style in their design and abandon the traditional styles without any consideration. It was the time to face m...

Human Factors and Ergonomics in Consumer Product Design.

Every day, we interact with thousands of consumer products. As users, we expect these products, no matter how simple or complex, to perform their expected functions in a safe, reliable, and efficient manner. Unfortunately, this is not always the case, as designing consumer products that satisfy human needs and expectations are not an easy task. The design the process that involves the application of human factors and ergonomics principles and knowledge strives to achieve the above goals and, at the same time, reduce the risk of product malfunction or failure, reduce  the potential for accidents, and contribute to overall product acceptance and utility, all while reducing the total product life cycle cost. ergonomics is a unique and far-reaching discipline that focuses on the nature of human–artifact interactions, which are viewed from a unified perspective on science, engineering, design, technology, and management of human-compatibility systems. The ergono...
