Definition
Functional criteria---How well the layout support human
activities Visual criteria--- concern the perception of the layout as
a visual composition
Clearance
A = {(1, 0), (0, 1), (0, −1)} B = {(0, 0), (1, 1), (1, −1)} A + B = {(1, 0), (2, 1), (2, −1), (0, 1) (1, 2), (1, 0), (0, −1), (1, 0), (1, −2)}
Clearance
Many furniture items need open space around them
Circulation
Circulation--An effective furniture layout must
support circulation through the room and access to all of the
furniture.
Circulation
Pairwise relationships
Human physiology affects how objects should be positioned with respect to each other.
Pairwise relationships
Pairwise relationships
Conversation
the seats within a conversation area should be roughly four to eight feet apart
Conversation
Balance
The principle is to place the mean of the distribution of visualweight at the center of the composition. The visual weight of an element is its perceptual saliency.
A common assumption is that larger objects carry more visual weight.
Balance
Alignment
In furniture arrangement, alignment primarily concerns the orientation of the furniture items relative to each other and to the walls of the room.
Alignment
Emphasis
It is generally desirable to have a dominant focal
point in the interior, so that the eye can rest without suffering competing demands for visual attention.
