Introduction to the Special Issue, Anthropometry in Design
No full textFeature at a Glance: Welcome to the special issue on anthropometry! This discussion will cover a range of differently sized topics to fit your interests. De Bruin and Castelluci discuss the problems of designing school furniture that fits students, noting that “Regarding School furniture dimensions, students are usually exposed to furniture with fixed dimensions, which makes it almost impossible to adjust to the ‘growing’ anthropometrics along their school life and neither does it accommodate multidimensional fit very well.” Griffin et al. discuss developing an “understanding [of] body dimensions in relation to how a body functions, moves, and changes” that “is fundamental to creating compatible wearable products” for aging women. Alemany et al. discuss 4D scanning, observing that “This technology is able to capture the human body surface in motion at high frequency with a high resolution” and offers “an enormous potential to advance in ergonomic design and biomechanics.” Bradtmiller describes the “nearly infinite combination of head/facial characteristics” and that “This combination of traits allows us to recognize unique individuals but increases the challenge of designing head and face products that fit a wide variety of individuals with a relatively small number of sizes”.Green Open Access added to TU Delft Institutional Repository ‘You share, we take care!’ – Taverne project https://www.openaccess.nl/en/you-share-we-take-care Otherwise as indicated in the copyright section: the publisher is the copyright holder of this work and the author uses the Dutch legislation to make this work public.Applied Ergonomics and Desig

No full textDailėtyrininkė Sonata Baliuckaitė analizuoja dailininko teatro reiškinį ir spektaklius, kurie formavo šią sąvoką ir kuriuos galėjome išvysti Lietuvoje pastaraisiais metais: tai amerikiečių režisieriaus Roberto Wilsono ir italo Romeo Castelluci kūriniai, taip pat ir Vitalijaus Mazūro, kurio vardas iki šiol labiausiai siejamas su dailininko teatro reiškiniu Lietuvoje, darbai. Šiame kontekste nagrinėjami šiuolaikinių Lietuvos dailininkų Jūratės Paulėkaitės su aktoriumi Dainiumi Gavenoniu bei Gintaro Makarevičiaus sukurti spektakliai, kuriuose dailininko ir režisieriaus pozicijas užima scenografas: vizualinė išraiška, plastinė kalba tampa esminiu spektaklio elementu, o scenografas – pagrindiniu spektaklio kūrėju. Reikšminiai žodžiai: Dailininko teatras; Režisūra; Spektaklis; Vizualinė raiška.Art critic Sonata Baliuckaitė analyses the phenomenon of the artist’s theater and the performances, which formed this concept and which we could see in Lithuania in the latter years: these are the creations of the American director Robert Wilson and Italian author Romeo Castelluci, also work of Vitalijus Mazūras, who’s name up to now is mostly connected to the concept of the artist’s theater in Lithuania. In this context analyzed are performances, created by the contemporary Lithuanian artists Jūratė Paulėkaitė with an actor Dainius Gavenonis and Gintaras Makarevičius, where positions of the artist and director usurps set designer – visual expression, plastic language becomes the main performance’s element and the set designer – the main creator of the performance.
