    About this ebook

    As the ergonomic aspect of many problems facing the industry today attracts more attention from the management, providing scientific knowledge and the know-how to solve such problems is becoming increasingly more important. The impetus for this book originated from the pressing need to make the state-of-the-art ergonomic information on workspace, equipment and tool design available to practising ergonomists, safety specialists, engineering designers, and business and technical managers.


    The book reinforces the notion that ergonomic data should be explicitly integrated in the design of a system, and should become an indispensable part of the overall design process in production engineering, on an equal basis with such activities as mechanical component design, quality assurance, maintenance, inspection, etc. The focus is on selected ergonomic data for workspace, equipment and tool design, with special emphasis on the practical aspects of applying the available information to specific problem areas.

      건축설계업을 크리틱하다 Critiquing the Architectural Design Industry

      Nov 4, 2022

      팬데믹 이후 더욱 명료해진 ‘전환기’라는 시대 감각이 지금 우리 사회를 설명하는 말이라면, ‘낀 세대’, ‘번아웃/탈진’, ‘이탈/탈출’ 등은 사람과 산업의 변화 앞에서 사람들이 공통으로 느끼는 위기감을 드러내는 단어다. 건축계 역시 다르지 않다. 특히 건축설계업을 둘러싸고 누적되어온 여러 난제를 타개하고 변화에 응하기 위해서는 법과 제도, 자격증, 교육 시스템, 실무와 노동 환경, 사회의 인식 등에 관한 연구와 논쟁, 조언 등 다양한 접근이
