Interior Design Expertise and Instrumentation Investigations underway include defining the concept of home for the baby boom generation and for Arkansans. One's idea of home is the outcome of architectural design and interior spatial components interacting with physical, psychological, and sociological needs. Home is also the creation of identity through personal experience, memory, and environmental behaviors. By defining more specifically the concept of home for specific age cohorts and geographic regions, the research outcomes will result in housing design and policy that will lead to improved fit for the end users. Dr. Webb is also currently conducting research on teamwork in the classroom. Specific objectives have included the role in training for team members, team formation methods relative to learning outcomes, and conflict resolution. |
