Abstract

The conversion of unused or abandoned buildings into educational facilities, known as adaptive reuse, is a common practice in school construction. The process involves transforming old buildings to meet new educational needs. While adaptive reuse is considered an innovative and sustainable solution, research shows that this approach often does not support optimal child development. This research explores the application of educational principles in the context of adaptive reuse with a focus on creating learning spaces suitable for early childhood education. The method used involved a qualitative approach with an open-ended questionnaire administered to school principals, teachers, staff and parents. The questionnaire was designed to elicit understanding and perceptions of how interior design can support children's physical, emotional and social development. The novelty of this study lies in the integration of interior design principles specific to early childhood education in the context of adaptive reuse. Different from previous studies that focus on structural or functional aspects, this research offers practical guidance to transform old buildings into learning spaces that support various aspects of children's growth. The results reveal that adaptive reuse applications often do not fulfill all important aspects of designing learning environments. Key issues identified include limitations in creating spaces that support children's creativity, safety, comfort and social interaction. This research emphasizes the need for a more integrated and developmentally-focused design approach to ensure that the resulting learning spaces truly support various aspects of children's growth and learning.

Abstract

Loss of visual function reduces the accessibility of the environment. A person's ability to move around is closely related to their skills in wayfinding, i.e. finding clues and mental mapping. Individuals with visual impairment use non-visual sensory aspects, such as tactile clues, to form a cognitive map of the structure of the environment. Navigating new and complex environments can cause confusion, anxiety and take longer. Environmental interventions through tactile-based media conditioned into signage design are still scarce, therefore this study aims to try to identify the different roles of three design conditions namely; Rised lines (RL), Texture (TX) and Elevated Graphics (EG) on the wayfinding performance of blind individuals through a navigation task. Data collection involved an experiment with the participation of totally blind and low vision individuals in a simulated environment with three design conditions: raised lines, textures and raised graphics. The experimental process used spatial tasks including; navigation tasks. Measurements on the navigation task used questionnaires and duration scores. This experiment used repeated measure procedures on the three tactile design conditions, as well as a randomized sequence of conditions. The data obtained was analyzed through statistics using repeated measure ANOVA test to test the effect and difference of intervention of three tactile sensor-based signage designs. The findings showed that there was no significant difference in the navigation experience, but there was a significant difference in the navigation task duration score. The Rised Lines (RL) condition showed good performance especially in the aspect of duration score. This research has concluded that, tactile-based signage design has a significant role to help blind individuals understand the environment. This signage design is expected to be a medium for blind individuals, especially special education students in practicing Orientation & Mobility skills properly.
