Description
Summary:The design process has been discussed for a long time. From the Cartesian to romantic point of view, many authors propose distinct approaches to include users in this process. This paper presents a discussion on whether or not design methods are used by designers and architects. To illustrate design processes of these professionals, an exploratory survey was conducted. The intention was to find out details about design practice and additional information about the knowledge and application of human factors/ergonomics by these professionals in the built environment projects. In this paper, just the results related to human factors/ ergonomics topics are presented and discussed.
