Abstract (2. Language):
The living areas and fulfilling all the requirements of these areas’ users are very important
for designers. Space design for the old and disabled users in the scope of privileged
individuals is important from this point. The situation of the privileged individual mass
fulfilling their basic needs like shelter, education, working and entertainment in a
physically and psychologically unlimited way unlike to the other individuals is exposed as
the most important design problem.
Designers must pay attention to the user desires and requirements while they design spaces.
However, the desires and requirements of the changing/changed body structures of old and
disabled people happen to be different from the people without any handicaps in their
bodies. In this scope the stereotyped “average dimensions” used in designs are not valid in
the spaces with specialized users. In other words, the arrangements without changing their
living environments or using the privileged human typologies as design inputs in rebuilt
spaces make it possible for old and disabled people to live without detaching from life. The
basic target wanted here is with the aim of continuing a life without detaching from their
families. The universal design handled in this scope developed a suggestion aiming to
expose the ability to continue an equal life with all living creations. In the study the outer
and inner space qualities of Konya Selcuk University Elderly and Disabled Education, Care
Application and Research Center (EDCRC) project will be exemplified from the point of
spatial requirements of privileged individuals.
