Context
Now
try your own worksheet for your own space. We've created this
form so that you can either fill in the answers here and print
them out on your own printer, or print out a blank form to carry
with you while you're investigating the answers. This information
will allow you to draw a floor plan. Have fun!

Questions:
What
is the intended activity for the space?
Does it appear to allow that function easily and comfortably?
Is there sufficient light for the activity?
How may people can the space comfortably hold?
Is that number appropriate for the intended activity?
Is the mood of the room reflective of the activity?
Does the room connect to other spaces that accent the intended
activity?

What are the ages and frequency?
Is the room designed for the people and activity?
This
exercise is intended to help you look at how each part effects
the outcome of a space. Correctly analyzing the parts allows
us to determine which elements to use and how to arrange them
into patterns. This process allows us to assign value to specific
solutions and clarify issues such as budget, timing, aesthetic
choices.
