Welcome to the first post on our new site!

I am Cristiane Cantele, ergonomist and my purpose is to bring quality content to help you architect and interior designer in carrying out projects with high added value with results for your client and security for you professional!

WHAT IS ERGONOMICS?

One of the main concepts of ergonomics is related to comfort and well-being, as well as the adaptation of the environment to people's needs.


Once the physical, emotional and cognitive needs of the users of the projects are considered, whether they are corporate, commercial, educational, hospital and residential, the projects will be more assertive and functional.

In this way, ergonomics is considered a precious tool for the architect and the interior designer.

ERGONOMICS IS ONLY THE USE OF TABLES?

The professional who defines ergonomics as a mere use of tables or that the use of ergonomics limits the professional's creative capacity is mistaken.

Briefly, ergonomics is related to the translation of users' needs for projects, factors are related to the perception of comfort and well-being it is also related to the perception of comfort and well-being in the environments, in addition to factors related to lighting, noise , ventilation, measures and functional definitions of the environment, as well as the sensations provoked in the inhabitants of that space through architecture.


Ergonomics is also related to the positioning, layout of the project in order to favor usability and accessibility. In turn, cognitive ergonomics is related to the users' cognition factors, factors that, when there is some imbalance, generate stress, monotony and low performance.


Reconciling all the factors that provide an environment with well-being and comfort in indoor spaces is always a challenge in an architectural project, with the design ergonomics allied to the professional as a strategy to ensure functional, productive environments that meet the needs of users.

❤This is my mission to bring quality content so that you can carry out increasingly beautiful, functional and ergonomic projects!

Best regards, until the next post! :)
