Summary
"Completely revised to address changes in industry practice and new technologies, [this book] presents all the necessary tools and know-how to effectively create design programming for both small and large space planning projects. The author's step-by-step space planning approach demonstrates how to use matrices and diagrams to fully visualize the space analysis process, including how to apply bubble diagrams and block plans for establishing a workable spatial organization. With a focus on existing structures, this comprehensive book presents material in a realistic context to create a hands-on guide that helps develop applicable skills and provides accessible information for solving day-to-day issues in the real world. This new second edition features: Discussions of CAD options in the planning process ; A variety of new skill-developing exercises ; Illustrations that reflect current ADA compliance. Complete with coverage of every consideration designers need to address at each phase, such as building code requirements and environmental controls, [this book] is a valuable learning tool for intermediate-level students in interior design, architecture, facilities management, and construction management, as well as professionals in these fields"--Back cover.
