Course Description

The application of programming, theory, and techniques in residential and commercial space planning. Drawing and planning process techniques are emphasized in the studio. PREREQUISITE: ID A110. ADVISORY: ID A100. Transfer Credit: CSU.

Course Level Student Learning Outcome(s)

1. Analyze and organize programming information into graphic format.
2. Identify and utilize interior space requirements and basic accessibility codes.
3. Develop scaled design drawings to determine efficient use of interior space, with basic dimensional considerations and code applications, based on analysis and development of programming information.
4. Communicate design solutions in graphic presentation format.

Course Objectives

• 1. Analyze, organize and allocate space planning principles with physical, psychological, and sociological parameters.
• 2. Evaluate user needs to develop appropriate space plans.
• 3. Demonstrate use of universal design principles in the planning of spaces.
• 4. Construct matrixes, schematic diagrams, and study models to illustrate knowledge of space planning principles.
• 5. Accurately measure interior spaces, furniture, and/or equipment.
• 6. Apply drafting and free-hand sketching skills and appropriate use of conventions and symbols.
• 7. Communicate design ideas through scaled construction plans and other two- and three-dimensional drawings.
• 8. Present design concept statements, graphic solutions, and oral presentations in a clear, accurate, and professional format.
• 9. Research and apply codes and regulations to space planning projects.

Reading Assignments

Reading Assignments  = 1.5 Hours/week x 16 = 24 hours Students will be expected to complete reading assignments from the required text, printed hand-outs, library resources, and research online articles throughout the course.

Writing Assignments

Writing Assignments = 3.375 Hours/week x 16 = 54 lab hours Process book – All coursework will be arranged and organized into a process notebook to include bubble diagrams, programming information/criteria matrix, planning options/ideas and finished project work including floor plans, elevations, 3D studies, and reflected ceiling plans.  Emphasis on hand sketching and graphic communication. Residential space planning:  Students will illustrate residential/habitable space requirements and integrate into a floor plan.  Project emphasis on appropriate clearances for bathrooms, closets, kitchens, furniture arrangements and working to a specified scale. Accessible residential remodel:  Student will redesign an existing residential plan to meet the needs of a wheelchair user.  Emphasis on accessibility codes, appropriate clearances and ramps/stairs. Retail space planning:  Students will visit and observe and existing retail establishment to gather programming information to incorporate into a new prototype for the retail establishment.  Emphasis on programming, site verification/measuring, accessibility codes for commercial spaces. Commercial office space planning:  Students will plan a typical office suite based on established program criteria.  Emphasis on standard square footage requirements for office spaces, panel-based workstations, functional needs and workflow for a corporate office and accessibility codes for commercial spaces. Dining facility planning:  Students will plan a restaurant/hospitality space based on established program criteria. Emphasis on space planning for large/assembly occupancies means of egress and accessibility codes, appropriate clearances for tables, chairs, aisles, etc. in hospitality facilities.
