10 mins: 5-7 Slides
Intro: Me, DSDC Role, PhD. Name Supervisors
Gap, Objectives, research question
Method 1/3: Dementia Audit Tools
Method 2/3: Space Syntax
Method 3/3: Convert and Analyse Plans
Results and conclusions
Ideas:
Show floor plans in a matrix
NSW vs Pub vs Smith etc graphed by DDP
Change over time
Need for Regulations?
Grid of blobs / boxes to represent entire set?
Show conversion process of floor plan to graph and table
Show typical spider diagram as first slide?
Pie charts of 3 instruments indicating phases
Strengths / weaknesses + Areas with biggest room for improvement: published vs typical
Possible to surmise what might be different in the UK
Technical stuff
Note Australian govt funding
Name supervisors
Publicly accessible ethos - per IRIDIS
DSDC Job is (mostly) advising on evidence based design for dementia. Part of the SFVPN project. Wider reading as part of PhD informs DSDC work. Research aims not only to add to existing knowledge, but also to help directly improve the quality of design. Feel fortunate that my research so directly informs my non-research.
PhD with an Australian University - tuition covered by Australian Government research training scheme.
Prof Fleming added after confirmation c 1.5 to 2 yrs in.
Design stages vs design assessments
Design ‘Model’ concept - perhaps easier to visualise per BIM
Design Quality of RAC relatively unknown - No regs , limited record (compared with building design codes for physical impairment).
Limited understanding of what makes a dementia accessible layout (I.e. studies on corridor shape)
