user profileThe first step is to develop in-depth knowledge of the users of project spaces.
All aspects that differentiate their needs must be thoroughly understood.

/ sex (sexuality and gender identity)
/ motor disabilities (physical-ambulatory impairments)
/ sensory disabilities (blindness, deafness)
/ mental illness (schizophrenia, depression)

Complex dynamic systems It is necessary to understand how that nurturing relationships and safeguarding mental and physical health through protective factors requires viewing them as interdependent elements of a single dynamic system.
HCBB
Human-Centered
Building Brief Shaping the building brief in four phases
a/ program
Thanks to several sequential steps, HCBB translates the list of functional requirements (sqm, usages) into psycho-physiological emotions expected by users and into sensorial matrices able to drive rooms' construction.
b/ rooms
For each of the expected emotions, through sensory matrices HCBB guide rooms' configuration, working on the levels of indoor rooms' compositions, from geometry to light and colors, materials, smells, acoustics, and topology.
c/ layout
HCBB organizes rooms in ways capable of defining a clear and recognizable project's identity in the internal layout and the building's external expression, creating consistency.
d/ details
Upon completion, the process adopts strategies to consolidate enhancements produced in the other three HCBB phases, working on interiors, facades, and indoor design components.
HCA Human - Centered assessmenttuning arch consulting activities very often develop within existing contexts and buildings.
Those factors that allow us to define the state of health of real estate complexes are the same ones used to construct tuning arch human-centered briefs.
The most suitable protection factors are highlighted based on the extension, activities, and context to picture the status quo's strengths and weaknesses.
