FURNISHING DIAGRAMS
Review the program for the exhibition space:
Sketch three schematic diagrams for each of the seating and social configurations required for the exhibition space.
- Welcome space - Reception counter with attendant and seating for 6-8 people.
- Demonstration / hands on game space - configured once a day for seating and formal demonstration of the game to 25 people. Hands-on game trial areas for 4-8 people standing.
- Social interaction and question and answer space for 12-15 people in lounge seating configuration.
Each diagram is to explore alternative ideas about how furnishings are to be arranged and configured to support the primary human relationships and interactions for each space. Provide dimensions for each unique piece of furniture, spacing of the furnishings, and overall dimensions. Use the references listed below to assist in creating the diagrams and references for dimensions. You can also use field studies and measure distances in the "real world" to assist in creating your diagrams.
Create a final AutoCAD version of your diagram most appropriate for the exhibition design. The diagram is to illustrate the furnishing arrangement, furnishing sizes, spacing, and overall dimensions. Illustrate the furnishings with back and arm and other elements required to support human needs and social interactions.
ORGANIZATIONAL DIAGRAMS
Sketch five (5) alternative ideas for the spacial organization, sequences, and transitions of majors spaces for the exhibition design. Start by configuring the 1200 sf of allotted space in the 10'X10' modules in alternative configurations. As an overlay create bubble diagrams that illustrate the major spacial relationships. Use colors, line weights, and arrows to describe the flow through the space, major and minor features, and the key organizational ideas.
