註釋
The Humanscale series is an important toolkit for everyone who designs for the human body. It incorporates the extensive amount of human engineering data compiled and organized by Henry Dreyfuss Associates throughout the twentieth century, including research of anthropologists, psychologists, scientists, human engineers, and medical experts.Originally published in 1974, Humanscale 1/2/3 consists of pictorial selectors equipped with rotary dials. This portfolio contains three selectors (two sides each) which present over 20,000 bits of information, encompassing anthropometry, guidelines for seating design, and requirements for the handicapped and elderly. Men, women, and children¿large and small¿¿are represented. Measurements are given in metric as well as English units.Engineers, architects, industrial designers, planners, interior and furniture designers, and craftsmen will find that the selectors minimize their searching through numerous and conflicting sources and unreliable information. The Humanscale materials are not a panacea, of course. More detailed studies dealing with interior space, safety, human strength and movement, displays, vision, reach, and controls should also be consulted. The selectors should be used in a creative way, and models and mock-ups based on the data should be tried out with the intended users.
