relating to human characteristics
Term
Building Efficiency =
Definition
Net Area/Gross Area
Term
Room Data Sheets
Definition
list all of the relationship requirements in a given room (eg: different rooms of a diagnostic imaging department have different needs, so each would have a sheet) and include layout, equipment, activity zones, lighting, temperature, and comfort requirements.
Term

Definition
Gross Area/Site Area
Term
Assignable area
Definition
the amount of area needed for uses in square feet used for gross area calculations
Term
Fathom
Definition
measure of the spread of arms

Definition
measured from inside walls

an individual building in the group

Planning Diagrams: Matrix Chart
Definition
numerical values of required relationships (1 = adjacent, 2 = no relationship, 3 = separate) are assigned to each program space with regard to the others
Term
Planning Diagrams: Bubble Diagram
Definition
before space planning create a loose drawing of circles that indicates required adjacencies, priorities or relationships, and relative sizes.
Term
Planning Diagrams: Block Diagram
Definition
more accurate (but still preliminary) layout of spatial organization based on bubble diagram, but with accurate sizes used.
Term
Blocking vs. Stacking Diagrams
Definition
• Blocking: assigning departments to a defined area on a floor based on its desired adjacency and support requirements
• Stacking: assigning floors/areas of floors to departments based on its desired adjacency and support requirements
