An idea exercise to consider qualities and aspects of a house designed for a dummy (not meant to be derogatory), someone mentally limited or challenged or even just speaks a differing language. The approach is to look towards architecture that guides and secures the occupant as well as simplifies all the aspects of house design for easy use and even construction.  Safety and navigation become important elements.  The basic plan below identifies room functions with pictogrammatic icons.

   

 

Above images illustrate simple design and construction, with easy functioning elements, GHS safety signs, manipulative spaces (fish trap), wayfinding graphics, simple design drawings (connect the dots house), simple connections (velcro blow-up) and basic layouts to facilitate duplication.  Not just for dummies, simplicity and ease of use are sometimes important aspects to any house design.  This post is the counterpart of House of a Genius.
