유니버설디자인이 적용된 생활 공간의 제품 디자인 특성에 관한 연구

(Background and Purpose) Universal design is a design concept that anyone can easily use. Universal design seems to be a concept representing general purpose design at this point in time. This study is to find the design area of the intersection of universal design and adaptive space. As a methodology of universal design, the purpose of this study is to examine the characteristics of adaptive space and to examine the relationship structure between the characteristics and the effectiveness of universal design products in living space. The researcher hopes that through this study, universal design and the concept of design will develop. (Methods) Spaces and products should be used conveniently by more diverse people in more diverse places. Therefore, the research was conducted as follows. After the theoretical consideration specialized in the universal design and adaptive space, we pursued the characteristics and variable values ​​of the universal design living space. And, it was checked that these characteristics are Modification characteristics that make a difference. With these characteristics as a frame, case analysis was conducted on universal design products in living spaces divided into living rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, bathrooms, and porches. (Results) In order to have a better difference in the living space of universal design, it was judged that it was necessary to be able to bring about a more diverse modification of place. As design characteristics for this, the characteristics of the physical elements of accessibility and shape transformation, the non-physical elements of sustainability and time variation, and the human elements of perceptibility and relationship change were summarized. In addition, for each product modification characteristic, the result of analyzing the user's demand, each element of the product function, and the value of use by product was derived. (Conclusion) This study focused on the intersection area of product and space among the scope of Universal Design. In addition, it was discussed that the space to which Universal Design is applied is based on a Non-representative value system. Through this, I tried to say that Universal Design is an alternative that can create better placeness through adaptability space-based transformation. By applying the product to which Universal Design is applied to the living space, it was intended to suggest that the modification of the adaptive space has universal design value. As an extended study in the future, it was intended to present the possibility that research on the development direction of various universal design products and research on place modification through universal design could lead to a Re-appropriation system of space and products.
