Working Longer and Happier:Inclusive Design for the Ageing Workforce

This paper estimates the population to be influenced by China's policy of postponed retirement age and provides design strategies and suggestions in the workplace for the ageing workforce from the perspective of inclusive design.First,the literature review about western design principles and practices for the ageing workforce is conducted.It is estimated that China would face approximately 100 million elderly workers in the near future with diverse physical conditions and demands.However,the design research and practices dedicated to ageing workforce in the workplace are comparatively weak in China.Inclusive design,one of the design approaches mainly focusing on ageing problems in developed countries,as well as its theory and methodology,could act as a good reference for Chinese policymakers and designers.Then based on the concept of inclusive design,a human-centered design model is established and design suggestions from four aspects are presented.Finally,two cases are further discussed to illustrate the idea of inclusive design.

Engineered Wood/Bamboo Laminated Composites for Outdoor Hydrophilic Platforms:Structural Design and Performance

Landscape designers increasingly prefer to use wood/bamboo-based composites for outdoor hydrophilic platforms owing to their natural surface texture,high performance,and sustainability to facilitate extensive interaction between people and water and enable the full range of ecological functions of water resources.In this study,four laminated composite(LC)structures were designed and manufactured using fluffed bamboo and wood veneers.Their surface textures,profile densities,water resistances,and mechanical properties were then evaluated.The type of fluffed veneer of the surface layer determined the texture of the LC surface.The specific structures of fluffed bamboo and wood veneer laminations were found to affect the LC profile density variability,water resistance,and mechanical properties owing to the differences in the strength and interfacial properties of bamboo and wood fibers.Finally,the water resistance and mechanical properties of all four LCs were found to be much higher than the highest level specified in GB/T 20241-2006 for“laminated veneer lumber”and GB/T 30364-2013 for“bamboo scrimber flooring”,indicating that they are promising materials for structures and flooring,particularly for outdoor hydrophilic platforms.
