Secondary work zone privacy screening reception desk: a desk is one of the most basic units in many environments. designing a desk forces us to think about humans and their operational dimensions as well as functional concerns, such as how to receive visitors, privacy, equipment, and so on. primary work zone this study of a room divider and seating area by Josef hoffmann (after norman diekman and John F. pile) is a good example of design at the microscale. note all the small details, some of them decorative; note that it is often this microscale of design that accomplishes the essential task of breaking down the scale of our living environments to a truly human one that relates to our bodies, our arms, our hands, and even our fingers. introduC tion to interior planning 9
Lessons from Transit Environments One of the challenges of designing in the real world is the burden of fitting a long list of things into spaces that are smaller than ideal. Most clients have less available space than they would like for all their furnishings and possessions. Learning how to design in tight spaces is therefore a necessity. Some of the best lessons about how to design in tight space are available to us if we look at tight environments and some of the best examples come from moveable environments that accommodate people. I am talking about cars, buses, airplanes, boats, and trains. How do they do it? Examine the examples on these pages. Note how the size of spaces and certain elements is minimized. Note, too, the tight clearances. Certainly, some of these spaces don’t meet the accessibility accommodation standards required for public spaces, although the commuter train example is accessible and can accommodate wheelchair users successfully. Keep in mind that the spaces shown here are much tighter than most of the houses, offices, and stores you’ll ever design. They are included to show how people can be accommodated in very tight environments with some careful planning. train cart: Social areas train cart: private rooms area 10 the interior plan the symmetrical arrangement of a lounge cart on a train shows same size tables that are located on the perimeter with circulation space along the central axis. the asymmetrical arrangement of a lounge cart on a train shows wider tables along one side resulting in an off-center circulation route and smaller tables on the opposite side to accomodate groups of various sizes.
