Abstract
The dimensions of houses in accordance with housing law, rules and regulations in Mexico are established based on standards without a precise basis in anthropometric requirements. Therefore, equal house prototypes are built in different regions of the country, although the physical characteristics of people are dissimilar. Education and strategies in architect formation require adapted information for house design. Given this scenario, the study's objective is to contrast such metric standardization with the volume of personal space delimited by body segments of population samples in three regions of Mexico. For this, an anthropometric database was generated, considering body mass, height, reach, body mass index, and personal space. Data are integrated concerning minimum dimensions of areas established in the minimum housing regulations, and necessary furniture measures are incorporated. Measurements were sorted by a given number of cases from each city. Similarities and differences between anthropometric data in the samples of three cities and the information that must be considered in the architectonic design were shown. When comparing minimum normative dimensions with anthropometric data and necessary furniture measurements, some volumetric discrepancies are evident. The Housing Law requires humanization, focusing on the inhabitants, their requirements and characteristics as added values of adequate housing. This paper is a new way to introduce the parametric analysis and consideration in Mexico and a basis for laws development.
Highlights
Suppose all manufactured attire is minimized with metric standards related to summerise clothing for whoever wears it to adapt to body characteristics of the human population
A The study sample covers a relatively small percentage of people; the population of three different regions of the country illustrates the problem of the minimum size of housing, originated in a dimensional deficit of spaces raised in regulations, given the anthropometric characterization based on the spatial volume of people generated by reach distance
The volume data obtained in the study reflect a discrepancy between anthropometric measures and dimensions established in regulations since the standards in rules are not based on the physical characteristics of the population, but on representative human scales of average measures
Summary
Suppose all manufactured attire is minimized with metric standards related to summerise clothing for whoever wears it to adapt to body characteristics of the human population. From the technical point of view, the average is a theoretical data obtained from the division of the sum of all the data in a sample, among the total data; that is, it is not a real data, and the real data that by chance are the same are few [7]. This data, average or arithmetic mean, only indicates that all the others are grouped around it, and never that most of the data is equal to it. It was used since ancient time for edification [8]
