Pierce, Molly
There are many barriers to built environments that affect health, well-being, and accessibility. Interdisciplinary models are informing healthcare design that addresses many of these barriers to support health. This research expands on the best practices using sensory processing model to understand how the key principles of design fit into a sensory assessment to gain greater awareness for the effects on health and well-being from the built environment. There is potential to go beyond just meeting the best practices for building and ADA requirements in order to create beautiful aesthetically designed spaces that are universal, engaging and calming, and support all abilities. Understanding how a space can affect the sensory nervous system by causing anxiety, stress, or being overstimulating can inform design and is the focus of this research. The Sensory Design Assessment Tool was developed to understand how best practices of design and human context fit into a sensory processing model for vision, auditory, tactile/touch, movement/space, and oral/olfactory. By using a sensory processing theory for design, along with the concept of creative placemaking and engaging in arts and health, design for community based settings can be universal, beautiful, and supportive for all users within the community.

Lu, Sisi
As one of the major lifelong learning possibilities outside the education system, museums have
always been an important venue to the public. Throughout their long history, there has been a
major shift in museology from being a collections-centered museum to a visitor-centered museum
in recent years. As China develops economically, museums have become greater in number, size,
and scope. However, Chinese museums might neglect the importance of the visitor experience.
With a framework of new museology and models a new participatory museum, this research
project attempts to understand the visitor-centered practice in China through document analysis
and a case study of the Hubei Provincial Museum in Hubei, China. This study intends to understand
the implementation of theory into practices and offer useful recommendations to the museum
professionals in China.

Underwood, Avery, Wailes Povelite
Otago Museum in Dunedin, New Zealand, is an institution in the beginning stages of a
museum-wide shift towards biculturalism. Presently, the Museum largely operates under a
western museology, and the shift to biculturalism means not only are objects and content
interpreted in the traditional western style, but also with respect to the worldview and with
the authority of the indigenous Māori people of New Zealand. A bicultural museum model
decolonizes the museum institution by giving authority and agency back to indigenous
peoples, creating a more comprehensive and inclusive museum. Approaching this research
project with a framework of biculturalism and bicultural practices as detailed by Conal
McCarthy in his 2011 Museums and Māori , this research intends to detail and better
understand the current and future bicultural practices of Otago Museum through interviews
with key staff members, observations of Otago Museum spaces, and analysis of the
Museum’s documents. This research aims to provide a better understanding of the Museum’s
bicultural practices and shift with the hope that the findings provide useful lessons for
museums in the rest of New Zealand and the world.
