Unit II Flashcards
It is an in-depth analysis of how physical space is
used in structures. It considers the purpose of spaces and who
will use them
Space Planning
Phase 1 of Space Planning
Collection of Information
Phase 2 of Space Planning
Interpret Requirements
It focuses on belonging or
status within a particular
community or space
Insider vs Outsider
It addresses the scale of
use and how the space
caters to either personal
needs or collective
interaction.
Individual vs Community
Looks at how open or
restricted a space is,
focusing on whether a
place feels welcoming or
exclusive.
Invitation vs Rejection
Focuses on the physical
feel of a space, whether it
is open and expansive or
enclosed and secure.
Openness vs Enclosure
Addresses the connection
or separation of elements,
whether they are
combined or kept apart.
Integration vs Separation
Deals with the proximity of
elements, whether
functions are grouped
together or spread out.
Combination vs Dispersion
Phase 3 of Space Planning
Consideration of Spaces and Spatial Relations
Affect functionality, flow, and user experience
Spatial Relationships
Occurs when a small space sits
within the volume of a larger
space
Space within Space
Occurs as a result from the
overlapping of two volumes
Interlocking Spaces
Two or more spaces are
connected to on another by an
additional intermediate space
that is shared by all the spaces it
serves.
Spaces linked by Common Space
The spaces are located next to
each other but remain distinct,
allowing separate activities to
take place in each one.
Adjacent Spaces
The central space takes hierarchy,
around which other spaces are
placed.
Centralized Organization
A sequence of repetitive spaces is
arranged in a linear format and are
often alike in form and function.
Linear Organization
The central space is dominant and
the rest of the spaces spread out
radially from the central axis.
Radial organization
Spaces are grouped randomly but
with close visual or physical
proximity to each other.
Clustered organization
Spaces are placed in an ordered
structural grid creating a three-
dimensional framework. They are
often in the form of repetitive
modules.
Grid Organization
Phase 4 of Space Planning
Developing Circulation
An area within a building that are
used for pedestrian travel,
Circulation Space
Phase 5 of Space Planning
Create the Solution
Phase 6 of Space Planning
Review and Revise
