Title of CPD course: BEYOND PART S– DESIGNING FOR THE VULNERABLE

Presenters: JOOST HOGEWONING

Course information (Content/Overview):

 The aim of this CPD event is to equip designers with guidelines for the practical and healthy design of institutional buildings like crèches, granny flats, housing for the aged, old age homes, and service centres.

Although it seems to be a specialised field, most designers are sometime or other faced with the conversion of a home into a childcare centre, a granny flat, a new or small addition to a home for the aged, etc. A short session on service centres for seniors will be done as well.  Thus this seminar will apply to all categories of designers in a larger or lesser degree.

The only guideline available to the average designer is SANS 10400 (Part S and other applicable parts).  This is however insufficient for practical design and does not treat the requirements of other relevant government departments and policies that apply to these buildings.  These will be explored in the workshop as well as other practical design criteria and best practices drawn from 40yrs of experience in this field by the presenter.
