What is a 5 step process for programming?
Establishing goals Collecting and analyzing facts Testing concepts Determining needs Stating the problem
____________ is a performance requirement related to methods of solving a problem.
____________ is a specific physical response that attempts to achieve a ____________.
Programmatic concept
Design Concept
Programmatic Concept
The following statement is a ________ concept:
“Provide a medium level of security to protect against theft of merchandise w/o making the security methods obvious.
Programmatic
Name 3 design concepts that satisfy the following programmatic concept:
“Provide a medium level of security to protect against theft of merchandise w/o making the security methods obvious.”
- Provide central cash/wrap station at front of store.
- Attach security tags to merchandise.

Create a programmatic concept statement for a secure office:
Provide a high level of security against unauthorized persons entering the premises.
What makes the following statement a programmatic statement?
“Provide a high level of security against unauthorized persons entering the premises while not complicating access for authorized personell.”
- Statement identifies and responds to problem (security)
- narrows the problem focus (unauthorized persons) as opposed to theft
- Establishes a way of evaluating if the goal was reached (are authorized people still able to move about freely?)
_________ indicate what the client wants to achieve and why. 1st step in the 5 step process.
Goals

The sensation of thermal temp depends on the following 4 factors:
Air temp
Humidity
Air movement
Radiation
What are the 4 ways the body loses heat?
Convection
Evaporation
Radiation
Conduction
Convection
Fluid/liquid/or gas
Air temp around body is less than body temp.
(think oven/ surrounding temperature) heated environment makes water boil. Or surrounding cold temp makes person cold
Evaporation
Moisture to vapor
Perspiration or breathing
(sweat)(condensation?) sweat evap cools the body
Radiation
(electromagnetic waves)
Human body near a cold surface
cold ‘leaps off of the surface or radiates’ flame to pot. A poorly insulated cold wall can radiate from wall to person and lower their temp
Conduction
(transfer between 2 objects) touching. Hot pot to hot handle. A cold desk could make person sitting at it cold. Person walking on cold floor barefoot could become cold.
Why does the body release heat?
Metabolism
Food to energy
Burn calories
9 factors of human comfort

- Air movement
- Air radiation
- Odors

Aesthetics
Provides oxygen, removes carbon dioxide, odors, carries away contaminates.
ventilation
One of the basic theories of human motivation.
Maslows Hierarchy of Needs
A particular place with definable boundaries
and
Objects in which a standard behavior occurs at a particular time.
Behavior Settings
How do behavior settings relate to interior design?
Connects behavioral aspects of human activity with the effects of physical environment on people.
When a room is arranged to assist an activity it is a ____.
Behavior Setting
Need for self identity
Freedom of choice
Often boundaries are subtle
Pics at a desk or row of files between 2 boundaries
Territoriality
Theory of how people use space as a specialized elaboration of culture
Proxemics
Spacing between people Territoriality Organization of space Positioning of people in space Suggests that people will leave a space between them on a sofa
Proxemics
What are 4 personal boundaries?
Intimate
Personal
Social
Public
Contemplative and rational type of abstract or generalizing thinking or the results of such thinking.
Theory

Proxemics
Created by anthropologist Edward t hall
Describes interrelated observations and theories about how people use space as a specialized elaboration of culture.
