ABSTRACT
This part introduction presents an overview of the key concepts discussed in the next subsequent chapter. The part considers the influence of cross-cultural immersion in order to initiate exposure to individuals and cultures that remain isolated by immediate surroundings. It looks to critical development of the pre-design planning process in order to establish the functionality of adaptable multi-use space. The part assesses the extension of the design process beyond construction completion to include critical evaluation and user input following owner occupancy. It proposes design cohesion of complex parts to replace current forms that serve as an accumulation of isolated functions. The part presents the sensory experience of a child as an interpretation critical to the built environment. It analyzes the children's museum as an archetype for the increasing drive toward ethics based, inclusive humanitarian design. The part evaluates diverse spectrum of building conditions that challenge the success of future adaptability when inhibited by a traditional formulaic approach.
