Vocab Flashcards
Which programmatic concept is a designer addressing for the programming of a health club if they opt to provide additional room in an indoor pool area beyond the space needed for the pool and circulation?
Tolerance
What are the 5 steps in programming?
Establish Goals Collect and Analyze Facts Uncover and Test Concepts Determine Needs State the Problem
programmatic concepts
a designer’s abstract ideas about how to solve a performance problem. Not a physical solution to the problem.
design concept
is a specific physical response that attempts to achieve a programmatic concept.
“Precept” drawings are what type of design document?
Idea sketches developed during programming about how the final design solution might respond to the identified design problems.
a napkin sketch is most synonymous with _________
parti diagram
The study that takes a holistic and human view of data to tell us not only what is happening, but also how and why it is happening is called:
Behavioral Analytics or sometimes called, predictive analytics
Ideas are sketched, during the schematic design phase, in abstract forms/shapes in plan view that represent the program’s spaces, activities, and circulation patterns. What are these conceptual sketches referred to as?
Bubble Diagram
A special type of adjacency diagram that shows the locations of major spaces or departments when a project occupies more than one floor of a multistory building is?
stacking diagram
Which diagram is part of the schematic design phase and used to move from verbal and simplified graphic notation toward true scale and the eventual realization of architectural form?
Block Plan or block diagram
Parti Diagram
is usually a sketch, diagram, drawing, doodle, or some other graphic that represents the direction, concept, or theme of a design. It can be very rough; the proverbial back of a napkin sketch.
True or False a parti diagram is always a sketchy informal drawing?
False
A parti is a communication tool. It communicates the intent of your design concept. The parti should communicate something about the form as well as the concept.
Ideally, your parti will communicate the experience you intend to create. It should depict something about the functional, sensory, and /or emotional aspects of your design concept.
That said, a parti does not have to be a diagram or sketch. A picture, an object, maybe even a Pinterest board may serve the purpose of a parti.
criteria matrix
includes reasons not related to adjacencies, such access to views, plumbing, etc.
adjacency matrix
matrix that records the relationships between rooms in a plan and identifies the required levels of closeness and reasons why rooms need to be near each other.
test fit plan
generally shows most of the furniture and equipment and is drawn to scale. This gives designers and students an opportunity to see if the actual spaces will “fit” into the proposed building space.
The test fit plan is part of the overall space-planning process as it addresses the physical and functional aspects of a project and will allow the designers to coordinate corridors and adjacencies.
Prometrix
is the study of the cultural and spatial needs of people and their interactions.
is the study of how human beings relate to a space based on their cultural background?
is the study of the use of space by human beings in a particular culture.
Dion was promoted and now has his own office. He has been busy adding his own personal touches to the space to include his diploma, and framed award certificates, photos of his wife and kids, and photos of his fraternity brothers. What type of human behavior is this an example of?
Territoriality
The measurements of a person standing at a kitchen counter washing dishes are an example of?
dynamic anthropometrics
the term prometrix was created by who?
an anthropologist Edward T. Hall
Intimate distance
allows actual physical contact and generally exists from skin surface to a distance of approximately 1 1⁄2 feet (457 mm)
Personal distance
approximately 1 1⁄2 feet to 4 feet (457 mm to 1.2 m)
Public distance
the space that extends beyond the 12-foot (3.65-m) limit of the social zone
Anthropometrics
is the measure of the size, proportions, and range of motion of the human body.
Static anthropometrics
measures the human body at rest
Anthropometrics
is the measure of the size, proportions, and range of motion of the human body.
studies the size and proportions of the human body including variations in cultural populations.
human factors
involves the correctness of fit between objects and spaces and the needs of the people using those objects and spaces, as it relates to the human scale — an environment designed to fit a person as opposed to equipment, such as a vehicle.
Ergonomics
is the study of human beings and their responses to various working conditions and environments.
Form
element of design is created with lines, planes, volumes, and to a lesser extent, points
Form, function, economy, and time are?
4 major considerations of any design problem
This is the relative size of an object or element in comparison to another element of known size:
Scale
Proportion
is simply the relationship of parts of a composition to each other and to the whole.
The degree of lightness or darkness of color in relation to white and black
value
it provides a diversity of ways to allow maximum participation
Inclusivity
