Ergothetics meaning

1. ERGOTHETICS meaning
Ergothetics:
the art of shaping house & other peopled-building fabric & items to fit the required
ergonomic room with minimum obstructions or snags & instead welcoming shapes,
leg room, accessibilities, room to move comfortably, provide for people in action
scaled in space, with a visual aesthetic; streamlined design, facility for movement &
handling felt as joy, a beautiful feeling when celebrating the creation of the fact often
lost in familiarity; a rather beautiful word invention, term developed during writing

Thus:
The over-boxed box syndrome can be solved by nature’s earthy nurtures – through
materials, curves, artistry, colours, music, planting, beautiful doorways and
windows; and through having Albert Gallopilong and Sitting Bull for tea. Leave the

act and credibilities of construction relate to ergonomics; relate to people in action as
they take discernible anthropmetric proportion in space and contraption. Ergonomic
lines are part of the ‘streamline’ aesthetic; call it ergothetics - no obstructions nor
snags, just welcoming shapes and leg room. Room to move and perceive comfortably,
by nature, is not boxy. The mind, when relating, via perception or understanding, to the
act of building, is less boxed. The act of construction is visible in the likes of battened
wall panels and exposed beams. A shallow dome space formed in a flat square
ceiling, though not easy to build, may be mental ergonomic amenity, carried by the
form and space; ergonomic room for the mind to stretch – certainly it deboxes. Applied
ergothetics avoids and resolves over-boxed housing by optimising the practical
applications of orthogonal construction simultaneously with dweller and
community synthetic aesthetics.
