hello. computation tables provide a more in depth analysis of what you are trying to provide as well as strengthen your proposal and encourage you to apply critical thinking to the needs of a project. these 3 are actually based on minimum occupant load standards. the key word though being minimum. so, there are a lot of factors that get overlooked, which can make your plans end up being under-designed. as for the multiplier, it's more of a want than a need. i personally always encourage to add the multiplier because it's an investment in the long run. i'm not sure if this was what you were asking about, but i hope it helps or at least gives you an idea :)
Hello Goodmorning Architect, Does this kind of computation is suitable for high rise condo, and office? or another type of computation for that kind of structure?
hello. in essence, you can use this format for any structure. however, the long answer is, you would still have to do your research to justify why you used a certain parameter. for example: a typical studio unit in the philippines is between 15 to 21sqm for the simple reason of being cost effective. and since you can fit all the basic necessities in that area, most developers will push for that design solution to maximize revenue. if the buyer is lucky, the condominium structure will at least provide adequate amenities to make up for the small unit size. hope that makes sense and somehow helps :)
when one space is still allowed access to another but only through the priority connections. mostly for the purpose of necessity. for example, if a home only has one restroom for the whole family but it also has to be accessible to invited guests for hospitality, then you would have to provide indirect access. hope that makes sense
circulation multiplier is based always on research. technically speaking, you don't need to apply it, but i advise that you still do and defend your answer with facts. how do you determine what you can use as facts depends on the project. for example, if you were to find a study that shoes that accidents are less likely to happen if a certain space was a percentage larger than that of the average person you could translate that as your multiplier and use the study as your defense. hope that helps :)
Some people also think that using cheap materials, cheap design, and overall cheap build quality is a good economic decision so they can save up for more a expensive house in the future. But what they don't realize is when you have a house built so cheaply, it will almost always end up costing them more in the long term. For example, if a room is lazily designed and that causes too much heat buildup, they would have to invest into air conditioning, again thinking they save can more money because HVACs are getting cheaper these days, but then the rooms get so hot they will have to get them blasting cold air straight to your face almost 24/7. Not only can it cost you an immensely high electric bill, but the fact the our country gets really hot and humid and A/Cs running for so long can break from being too overworked causing more discomfort and economic setbacks to the client. Speaking of discomfort, it is also pretty bad for our health, getting in to cold rooms and then out into the hot hall and then coming back, that can weaken your immune system and get you to become more vulnerable to sickness, again causing more economic setback for medical services. All these problems stemming from just bad airflow design. HVACs are not there to serve as your main cooling system, but as a supplement to it when it gets too hot. Buildings should be designed with respect to the "Habagat" and "Amihan" winds, which are basically free cooling systems provisioned by God himself. Anyways, sorry for the mini essay/rant.
hey guys! don't forget to drag down for the "computed area with consideration", like i did, after changing the formula! otherwise, the succeeding computations wont be correct 😅
same format lang naman. this video just teaches you how to make it on your own. may mga iba kasi na humihingi ng file. and if i give it to them, they won't learn. you'll learn more if you can do it on your own :)
hi! sorry for replying late. i actually use a combination of programs. for this i used excel and for presentation i would edit them on either photoshop, indesign, or illustrator. hope that helps :)
Can I ask what is the formula for the total area in the users column? what I mean is what do you need to type into the excel table to automatically solve the total area of the pivotal, static, and pedal things?
sorry, it's been a hectic year. there are formulas based on the specific research of a project, but for the most part the computations would not be far off from one study to another... it's a bit difficult to explain. the measurements are based on human anthropometrics and proxemics.
i can totally relate. the many stories i'm sure we could both share haha. but there's no point in looking back at how they treated the future generations. now it's in our hands and eventually it will be in the next. my advice is to simply be better. even just baby steps makes all the difference. takecare!
Upon observation, nawala po pala yung Sit-Stand-Lay, saka above 10% po yung multiplier nang circulation. All that aside, buti po mas naliwanagan ako sa format nang spreadsheet niyo.
you can determine sit-stand-lay details based on a combination of factors. for example a bedroom would have a bed. thus, the combination of the type of movement and the furniture would account for the space needed for laying down for a long period of time. then, depending on the needs of the client, the circulation can be determined. hopefully that helps explain some things 🙂
