A “Patient”‘s Architectural Adventure


Armrests are either meticulously depicted and expressed as showy details in design, or they are overlooked due to their impact on minimalist visual appeal.

As a disciple of Mies, I turned all the 200 square meter rooms into dazzling white.

I really enjoy this empty solitude.

The judges have strict requirements for the handle of the knife, requiring it to be tightly held and not released in various situations.

The chairs to be improved in the hospital and the scenery outside the window.

For over a decade, parents have been constantly adding things to make the room crowded.

Furniture is only sufficient.

Then I noticed a detail.

So I reviewed the various building handrails that I came into contact with.

After undergoing craniotomy, she was in a hemiplegic state for about two weeks and needed me to help her go to the bathroom or undergo rehabilitation training.

Three years ago, my wife had cancer with brain metastasis.

I am not a strong person.

The room looks smaller and smaller.

Afterwards, he experienced a week of difficult days with limited mobility and gained a new understanding of the relationship between his body and architecture.

After getting married, this apartment was given to my parents to live in.

I thought it was due to a lack of exercise and insufficient grip strength.

In short, the support of the handrail seems not to be the main consideration.

Finally, the grip that can ensure a tight and comfortable grip is concentrated on an elliptical or rounded rectangle, with the long side of the section exactly approaching 4 centimeters.

After resuming work on the hospital armrest, I underwent repeated testing and finally developed a standard grip diameter of 4 centimeters in the studio, either circular or sheet.

There is almost no design that can grip like a knife handle.

This time, when I need to use chair handles, crutches, or columns to exert full force on myself, these items still cannot provide sufficient support and always slip, making it take me more than half an hour to go to the bathroom.

When my wife’s weight was on my side, I needed to hold onto the armrest, but I found that the wide armrest in the hospital was used for support and couldn’t be held.

Various circular knife handles have been proven unsuitable in practice.

When I was recuperating, I fell in love with watching a knife forging competition about a reality show about swordsmen.

Yes, I need a handrail.

The worst thing about having a mental illness is that everyone expects you to pretend you’re not sick, “said Yu Ting, an architect of” The Joker, “when she was about to go out when she suddenly had an electric shock in her lumbar spine and fell to the ground.

When the whole body is divided into two parts that cannot be coordinated, the hand particularly needs support.

My waist injury just infected COVID-19, and I was hospitalized in the emergency because of secondary pneumonia
.

After all, those who need to hold onto the armrest tightly to help themselves are so few that they can be defeated.

22 years ago, I owned my first apartment.
