Idc Consultants

IDC Integrated Design Consultants is committed to the creation and design of people-centered environments, focusing strongly on ergonomics and anthropometrics as the foundation for the creation of functional built forms. Moreover, we are determined to achieve and articulate a “South African” architecture that is derived from place and the critical interpretation of vernacular architectures. The design of functional spaces based on a sound understanding of anthropometrics and ergonomics is best illustrated by the practice’s continued work and competency in the field of Universal Design, a design paradigm that emphases the creation of environments that are useable by all persons. To this end, we have been intimately involved with the writing of the National Building Regulations, and are involved with several national and international initiatives aimed at improving the quality of the lived environment. Our approach is multi-disciplinary and holistic, embracing not only Architecture, but Urban Design, Interior Planning, Industrial Design, Training, Tourism, Transportation etc.
