WEEK 2: (Week 1 lecture continued)
UNDERSTANDING ENVIRONMENTS:
Types of environments;
oPerceptual = senses heightened in this space
oFunctional = How you use a space
oConceptual = (Combination of the two ^) = How we perceive an environment
(includes; cultural factors, artistic ie.)
Defining Environments by;
Levels (parts and whole)
Hierarchy or levels of integration; including of subparts that cannot function without
all systems operating as a whole
Ecological design;
Human – Environment relationships (HE/ HER ) = Human, environments, relationships
People and society Natural environment Built environment
Individual
Families
Neighbours
Communities
States / nations
Particles
Cells
Organisms
Communities
Products
Interiors
Structures
Landscapes
Cities
Comprehensive design: Social - Environmental – Technological (S.E.T)
Sustainable design: Social – Environmental – Economic (S.E.E)
Quality: Searching for health, fitness and creativity in the built environment
HEIRACHY OF QUALITY IMPORTANCE
QUALITY and/or CREATIVILITY = BENEFITS = Creative / health fitness factor
COSTS = sustainability factor
NEED TO BE UNDERSTOOD FROM THIS LECTURE
Definition of the built environment
Understand that environments are a series of integrated parts to become a whole
There are hierarchal systems that occur in built and natural environments

Document Summary
Types of environments: perceptual = senses heightened in this space, functional = how you use a space, conceptual = (combination of the two ^) = how we perceive an environment (includes; cultural factors, artistic ie. ) Hierarchy or levels of integration; including of subparts that cannot function without all systems operating as a whole. Human environment relationships (he/ her ) = human, environments, relationships. Comprehensive design: social - environmental technological (s. e. t) Sustainable design: social environmental economic (s. e. e) Quality: searching for health, fitness and creativity in the built environment. Understand that environments are a series of integrated parts to become a whole.
