NCIDQ - information anaylsis and synthesis space planning by tvenette Flashcards
Radial Organization
More than one linear organization extends from a central point. Can be circular or assume other shapes.
Grid System
Elements may be regular spaced and perpendicular to each other, or irregularly spaced and at angles to each other or to the architectural space. Portions can be subtracted, added, or modified. Size can be changed to create different sizes of spaces or to define special areas.
Axial Organization
Two or more major linear segments, may be at right angles to each other or at some other angle, about which spaces or rooms are placed. There may be additional, secondary paths growing out.
Base Plan
A floor plan drawing of the existing space within which the new design will be placed.
Space Planning
The process used to translate programmatic needs and broad design concepts into a physical plan of the space by organizing major rooms and areas, determining circulation systems, and laying out furniture furniture. It deals with the design of the arrangement of spaces and objects, not with the particulars of materials, finishes, colors or accessories.
Circulation Patterns
One of the primary ways of organizing rooms, an open space, or an entire project. Vital to the efficient organization of space and provide people with their strongest orientation within the environment.
Dumbell Circulation Layout
Simplest and one of the most flexible patterns. Spaces are laid out along straight path that connects two major elements at the ends - usually the enetrance to the space or group of rooms at one end anf an exit or other access point at the other.
Doughnut Circulation Layout
Makes a complete loop, and is very efficient because it ptovides a double-loaded corridor and automatically makes a continuous exitway so two exits are always available if required by building code.
Central Organization Organization
One space or point about which secondary elements are placed.
