The Application of Leon Pastalan' s Theories on Environments for Seniors to Research on Facilities for Children

Abstract

Although his primary contribution to design research has been in the field of housing for the elderly, many aspects of the work of Leon Pastalan have had a significant impact on research in other specializations. Researchers focusing on healthcare environments for children and their families, for example, have been influenced by his methodological and theoretical approaches. These approaches include the utilization of user-focused design tools, the recognition of the importance of qualitative methodology, an emphasis on applied research, and the incorporation of cross-disciplinary themes. This paper elaborates on the relationship between Dr. Pastalan's theories and studies on children's environments, and discusses the relevance of this comparison to housing for the elderly.
