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!
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.
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 :)
Hello! So, just so you have a better idea, imagine that the foyer is kind of a "lobby". With that said, we can imagine what most people do in lobbies, which is sitting and standing. Mostly static positions. But, don't let boundaries tie you down. If you can add more to a foyer without destroying the essence of what its purpose is, then why not? As long as you have the research to back it up, then go for it!
hello! the one designing will usually determine how many people will use the area based on the research conducted for a project. then you will determine how these people will use the area. you can see this example at 21:15 circulation is also determined by the designer. you can try assuming that 40% additional space and below are for clients with a tighter budget, 40% to 60% for clients with a more flexible budget, and more than 60% for clients with an extravagant budget. this percentage is multiplied by and then added to the sum of the total area of users and furniture/fixtures/etc. that a space has been computed to need. it really depends on how you've researched a project. the more substantial evidences you have to prove your reasoning, the stronger the case you make for defending a project.
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 :)
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 🙂
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 :)
