Practice Exercise: Space Design Guidelines

  1. My Own Space Design

The following spreadsheet shows the quantity, length, width, area, and some features of all kinds of spaces in my Sustainable Design Exhibition Center. The total space is 34,767 sq.ft, and a 25% overhead is considered. The total actual space of the building is 47,567 sq.ft, so there would be enough space for our proposed design.

I also drafted a sketchy version of my space design graph, which is as shown below:

To be mentioned that I changed a little bit about the architecture of the main building, since the previous design is unique but not realistic. The functionality of the main building would be reduced in that way. The function of each space, as well as their sizes, are noted in the figure. Further changes might happen during the modeling phase.

  1. Space Design Reference

Here are some perfect space design, which is helpful on our own one.
