21
Q

What type of circulation pattern is generally the most efficient and flexible?

A

A linear layout (also called a dumbbell layout) is generally the most efficient and flexible of these.

22
Q

What are three types of axonometric drawings?

A

The three types are -isometric -dimetric -trimetric

23
Q

What is poche?

A

This is a graphic shading element (either patterned or solid black) used to fill in walls on a plan or to indicate material types in a section.

24
Q

In perspective drawing, what do VPL and LVP stand for?

A

In perspective drawing, either of these abbreviations can stand for the left vanishing point.

25
Q

What is outgassing?

A

This is the release of toxic gases from a material typically after the material has been installed.

26
Q

What is the commonly used measure of a flooring material’s slip resistance?

A

The coefficient of friction (COF) is typically used as a measure of this characteristic of a flooring material.

27
Q

People seated along the edge of a table should be provided with a comfortable amount of space between one another. What is the acceptable range for the amount of space per person?

A

When planning for this type of furniture, from 24” to 30” of space should be provided for each person.

28
Q

What is fuzzing?

A

This describes the appearance of a fabric when small fibers work out of the yarn onto the surface

29
Q

In Gestalt psychology, what is grouping?

A

This is the tendency to perceive separate elements in a visual field as a single whole.

30
Q

What is a design theory?

A

This is a mental construct, based on a philosophy or set of beliefs, that is used to direct a design.

31
Q

What type of conceptual plan arrangement could be used as a nondirectional way to focus attention on a space?

A

A centralized plan arrangement could be used to accomplish this.

32
Q

What is a design concept?

A

This is an idea or statement concerning an overall physical response to ideas developed during programming.

33
Q

In design, what is regionalism?

A

This is a social or cultural influence on a design that reflects a particular geographical area.

34
Q

What is a daylight factor (DF)?

A

This is the ratio of the indoor illuminance at a point on a horizontal surface to the unobstructed exterior horizontal illuminance.

35
Q

In interior design, what type of behavior is considered negligence?

A

This is a designer’s failure to use the care ordinarily exercised in similar cases by qualified designers and the failure to use reasonable diligence and professional judgement.

36
Q

What distinguishes an oblique drawing of an object from an axonometric drawing?

A

The first is drawn so that one plane of the object appears to be parallel to the picture plane. The second is drawn so that all three planes of the object appear to be at an angle to the picture plane.

37
Q

What is stain resistance?

A

This is a material’s resistance to a change in appearance after the application and removal of another material.

38
Q

What is abrasion resistance?

A

This is the ability of a material or finish to resist being worn away or to maintain its original appearance when rubbed with another object.

39
Q

What are the main advantages of nylon as a furniture fabric?

A

The main advantages of this fiber as a furniture fabric are -exceptional strength -high resiliency -high elasticity -resistance to many chemical stains -resistance to microorganisms -good water resistance

40
Q

What are the main advantages of acrylic as a furniture fabric?

A

The main advantages of this fiber as a furniture fabric are -moderately good strength -resilience -resistance to sunlight -a marked similarity to wool

41
Q

What is char?

A

This is the material remaining after an incomplete combustion.

42
Q

What is life-cycle cost analysis?

A

This is a method of determining the total cost of a building or building component or system. Initial costs are added to the costs of financing, operation, maintenance, and disposal, estimated over the useful life of the material or system.

43
Q

What is a cost index, and how is it used?

A

The number relates to construction or other costs to a base amount. It is used to account for the variables of geographical location and inflation over time.

44
Q

What is a discount rate?

A

This is a number used to convert future costs to their equivalent present values.

45
Q

What is a parameter method?

A

This method of estimating allows the interior designer to itemize components along with their units costs.

46
Q

What are some of the visual cues through which people perceive depth and distance?

A

People perceive these two spatial factors -linear perspective -atmospheric perspective -texture perspective -interposition -closeness of objects to the horizon line - relative size differences

47
Q

What psychological principle is illustrated by our ability to see two triangles in this diagram?

A

This is an illustration of the principle of closure (or form constancy) in Gestalt psychology.

48
Q

What type of conceptual plan arrangement is represented here?

A

This is a representation of an axial plan.

49
Q

What type of diagram is shown here?

A

This is an example of an adjacency matrix.

An adjacency matrix can also be drawn as a square grid, with information duplicated or only half the matrix filled in.

50
Q

What type of diagram is this?

A

This is a graphical example of a bubble diagram.

51
Q

What type of scale is this, and when should it be used?

A

This is an example of a graphic scale.

A graphic scale should be included on drawings that have been resized in uneven increments or that might be used by a person who does not have an instrument with which to scale.

52
Q

What type of schedule is this?

A

This is a graphic representation of a critical path method (CPM) schedule.
