aging in place: -statistic pattern explained -90% elder prefer to stay at home when aging bc...

Bitner's Servicescape: -list the ambient conditions (6) -further explain

-temp -air quality -noise -music (heart inc. & synchronize) -odor -lighting -refers to the controllable & observable stimuli

Layout affects:

-under space/function factor -how easy or hard it is to navigate through a system -2 important aspect: functionality (to meet customer's goal) & spatial layout (physical size and space layout)

universal design: -universal design vs. inclusive design (2)

-universal design usually think about ADA codes -inclusive design thinks about all groups, open thinking

milk train: -space design focusing on service for instagram -cloudlike, trainlike design
