Chp 3 - Building Programming Flashcards
(48 cards)
Secondary spaces are referred to as_such as mechanical rooms, circulation, stairways, elevator and mechanical shafts,
Unassigned Area
the sum of the net area (Assignable Area) + the Unassigned Area
Gross Building Area
the ratio of Assignable Area & Unassigned Area
Net-to-Gross Ratio (aka, EFFICIENCY)
consist of a series of space or buildings that are placed in a single line
Linear Organization
with two or more major linear segments about which space or buildings are placed.
Axial Plans
two sets of regularly spaced parallel lines, which create one pattern that is very strong and one that is quite flexible.
Grid Systems
is based on one space or point about which secondary elements are placed.
Central Organization
When more than one linear organization extends from a centralized point.
Radial Organization
are loose compositions of spaces or buildings related around a path, axis, or central space, or they are simply grouped together.
Clustered Organization
primary ways of organizing spaces, buildings, and groups of buildings.
Circulation Patterns
is the simplest and one of the most flexible circulation patterns. Spaces are laid out along a straight path that connects two major elements at the ends.
Dumbbell Layout (Linear)
very efficient also it provides a double loaded corridor and automatically makes a continuous exit way.
Doughnut Configuration
consists of a network of paths with no strong direction. There are major paths with secondary routes extending from or connecting the primary routes.
Field Pattern
is a design consideration that involves a variety of concepts
Flexibility
is the capacity of a building to be easily enlarged or added onto as needs change or growth occurs.
Expansibility
allows an existing building or space to be changed according to a new use
Convertibility
means the ability to use the same space for a variety of uses in order to make maximum use of limited space.
Versatility
Sometimes the net area is referred to as (individual areas taken together that make up the net area of a facility EXCLUDING the general circulation and support spaces like Mechanical rooms etc.)
Net Assignable Area
is a term created by Edward T. Hall to describe the interrelated observations and theories of humans’ use of space as a specialized elaboration of culture. It deals with the issue of spacing between people, territoriality, organization of space, and positioning of people in space, all relative to the culture of which they are a part.
Proxemics
can be thought of as a particular place, with definable boundaries and objects within the place, in which a standing pattern of behavior occurs at a particular time.
Behavior Setting
refers to the need to lay claim to the spaces we occupy and the things we own.
Territoriality
people need to arrange the environment to reflect their presence and uniqueness.
Personalization
individual systems and materials are reviewed to see if the same function can be accomplished in a less expensive way
Value Engineering
is the money required to construct the building, including structure, exterior cladding, finishes, and electrical and mechanical systems.
