The Human Perspective by Hattie Zapalac

The most important context for this project is people. The human body was used to inform the size and shape of the seats in the project. The seats’ shape was created with a strong orientation to direct visitors' groupings and gaze. Different groupings and orientation of seating arrangements supported uniquely programmed spaces within larger space. Program was promoted by lights, colors, privacy, and additional furniture pieces. The program was chosen to support people’s needs. Although the different program areas have a degree of separation, they maintained continuity through interventions placed in the space, materials, and pattern.
