| Summary |
From facilities for delivering goods to features that make cleaning easier, this program shows how a well designed shopping centre meets the needs of people who use it.The program opens with a young girl and her father visiting a major shopping centre for the first time and explores how the centre's architects took many things into account as they began the design process, such as fire safety features, facilities that help people in wheelchairs, the value of signs and maps and the deliberate use of certain building materials. Information is delivered through conversation between the narrator and the girl's inquisitive toy, which comes to life after being accidentally left behind in a supermarket.This five-part series looks at the ways in which buildings are designed for specific purposes. Taking a technology perspective, each program identifies the reasons behind a building's design. Everything from the choice of materials to safety considerations and the need for designs to assist people with disabilities is taken into account. A young girl with a curious toy that comes to life and seeks answers to questions children might ask, features in four of the five programs |
