...February 23, 2014 Diane Deaton Heartland Residential Design is a custom home design company, designing homes for both builders and individuals in the Kansas City, metro area. There is a great need for such services in the metro area due to the home building industry crashing in 2009. Many home design companies that were in the area along with other industry professionals including builders and construction suppliers did not survive the crash. Now that the industry is bouncing back and new housing starts are at their highest since 2009, the opportunity for a business that designs custom home plans seems to be at its greatest, with opportunity growing as the housing industry begins its re-growth. Mission Statement: Heartland Design will define the way homes are designed for the future providing plans to customers which are green friendly energy efficient homes, drawn to utilize construction materials while reducing waste during construction, designed to meet all current codes, and most importantly, drawn to the likes and specifications of the customer at a reasonable cost and in a timely manner. A very important factor in the development of Heartland Residential Design and where it stands out among competitors is in the pricing of the provided services to customers and turn- around time for completed ready to build custom home plans. Most customers believe they must seek out an architect to have a home designed and this is not the case. A residential designer can provide...

...Universal Design and Why it is Important. By 2030 there will be over 70 million people over the age of 65 living in the United States. This is over 20 percent of the United States population! With improvements in medicine and positive lifestyle changes, people are living longer than at any other time in history. That being said, it is becoming increasingly logical to build houses that can sustain us even if our mobility decreases with age, debilitating disease, or injury. Universal design is a concept developed by a wheelchair bound architect, Ronald Mace, who felt that all buildings should be designed for everyone regardless of age or ability. Building with access and comfort for all in mind, means a space is useable for anyone; young, old, able bodied, disabled and/ or in a wheelchair alike. Take for instance the “baby boomers”, or the 75 million Americans born between 1946 and 1964, in a recent survey conducted by AARP, 75 percent say that they strongly agree that they want to grow old in their homes as opposed to assisted living housing. They like anyone, want to “age in place” with their familiar surroundings and not in an institutionalized nursing home. The fact is that approximately 65 percent of older people that are in nursing homes today, are there because their own homes have been deemed unsafe for them to live in anymore. Their home is just not accessible. Maybe the home has steps leading up to the door or maybe the doors are not wide enough for the wheelchair...

...BETTER LIVING THROUGH INTERIOR DESIGN In today’s hectic world, it is often the little things that keep our lives from getting too stressful. Often, the most important space in a person’s life is in their home. Therefore, it can be argued that how a person designs their home can be a direct reflection on how happy they are in life. Before determining the type of design to incorporate into one’s home, many will consult a professional for advice. An interior designer has received education and training on how to best incorporate a client’s personality into their environment. It is an interior designer’s job to improve the psychological well being of their clients. This is achieved by respecting their client’s “social, physical and psychological needs and applying them in a safe and ecologically sensitive manner that promotes the health, safety and welfare of the clients” (Ball, 2002). The interior designer will take the client’s ideas and draft a simple outline of the design needed. This outline will include a budget breakdown so the client is aware of the monetary cost of their desired design inspiration. When considering a design style, an interior designer will begin each project or room as a blank slate. Regardless of how the room or area is currently decorated, the designer must be able to visualize the client’s ideas. It is the job of the interior designer to do simple and basic redesigns that can be easily changed, without the need of an architect, such...

Homelessness, illness, hopelessness, and despair are all remains of the wreckage. There has been rampant unemployment in the region; consumer debt has been on the rise. This has fueled the initiative for relief programs, attempts to bridge the gap of governmentally funded programs and the shortcomings of the locally and state-funded offerings. One federal initiative allows Mississippi Home Corporation to offer below-market mortgage rates. Rebuilding has been slow due to the lack of skilled construction workers. Displacement of workers and limited education/training are major causes for the deficiency. Building permit requirements have been made more stringent...

...Frank Lloyd Wright and Japanese Influence Frank Lloyd Wright was one of America’s greatest architects, but one question continues after his death: how much did Japanese culture influence his style and design philosophy? There has been much debate and literature written about how Wright cultivated his craft. He never gave credit to any influence and was also very critical of other architects’ work. I believe that several factors contributed to the incredible talent of this self- absorbed, egotistical artist. In 1887, Wright started work for the architectural firm of Adler and Sullivan. Louis Sullivan designed the first skyscraper, the Wainwright Building (Hart 10) in St. Louis. Sullivan’s style was form follows function, giving more importance to the interior of a building than the exterior. Being part of new ideas and styles in architecture was very intriguing to Wright. Sullivan was a great influence to Wright and helped shape his style. After the Civil War, there was a shift of wealth in this country from a couple of millionaires to many. This allowed more people to have expendable income and a culture began of buying large homes and the collectables to fill them. When Frank Lloyd Wright was 26, he attended the 1893 Columbian Exposition in Chicago which brought “Japonism” (Puechler) as a cultural phenomenon to America. It was here that Wright found a common connection between his philosophy and that of Japanese culture. He liked clean lines...

...Quantitive and Qualitative Article Review Kristi Schneider Walden University NURS-4000 Res/Scholarshp Evid-based Prac2016 3-20-2016 Quantitive and Qualitative Article Review Quantitive and qualitative studies in research are an important aspect of the nursing profession. Researching and reviewing quantitive and qualitative articles is a process of systematic examination of materials to enhance, validate and learn new knowledge (Schmidt and Brown, 2012, p. 67). As Schmidt and Brown (2012) state, quantitive research design is used to predict relationships and explain relationships and causality whereas qualitative research design gives meaning to events of phenomenon’s (p.72). The purpose of this paper is to identify and interpret research questions, study designs, sample sizes and representativeness, the strengths and weakness of the designs, as well as results of data analysis of both quantitive and qualitative research designs. Overview of Quantitive Design Using the Research Study “A Bundle Strategy Including Patient Hand Hygiene to Decrease Clostridium difficile Infections.” Research Question The basis of a research question is to pose an interrogatory question that describes the variables and population of the research study (Schmidt & Brown, 2012, p. 72).

...about design psychology really interested me especially since I am fascinated with interior design and I am currently working towards getting my degree in this field. I especially wanted to do an essay on this subject because I realize that it would help me understand the needs of my future clients better if understood the connection between psychology and interior design. Design psychology is the practice of architecture, planning, and interior design in which psychology is the principal design tool. In an American Psychological Association online article written by Lea Winerman, called “Designing Psychologists,” Susan Painter, PhD, and Constance Forrest, PhD, co-owns their own design firm. In 1990, after becoming a psychology professor at Carlton University, Susan decided to pursue her interests in interior/environmental design at the University of California. Now Susan is an urban and campus planner where she can merge her psychology expertise into her interior/environmental design skills into a new field called design psychology. Susan and Constance also design smaller scale places like offices and private homes through their own firm, Forrest Painter Design, in Venice, California. According to Constance, who is a clinical psychologist, she says ”I think the unique contribution that design psychology makes to design is that it recognizes the critical contribution emotion makes to people’s response to a space” (Winerman, 2004). Together, Susan and Constance design large...
