534 Interior Design Copyright Goodheart-Willcox Co., Inc. Review and Study 1. Why are commercial design projects larger and more complex than residential design projects? 2. List the phases of the commercial design process. 3. Why do commercial interior designers need to be knowledgeable about building occupancy classifications? 4. Name four building systems commercial interior designers may need to consider. 5. Identify five common issues to consider during healthcare facility design projects. 6. What is nocosomial and how does it affect patient room design? 7. What are three issues to consider during the design of a hotel? 8. What are circulation patterns and how do they affect restaurant and dining area designs? 9. What is the difference between a grid layout and a free-flowing layout? 10. List four things that educational space designs should do. 11. Define and give an example of corporate culture. 12. What are the typical office spaces a commercial interior designer would design? 13. What are the six sections of a Program? 14. What issues impact emergency systems and circulation paths? 15. Name the five components of effective wayfinding. Critical Analysis 16. Analyze patterns. Map a circulation pattern of your high school. How do students and staff get out of the building fast in case of a fire emergency? 17. Make inferences. The author states that “No issue has affected the design of inpatient rooms and units more over the past few years than increased emphasis on controlling nosocomial, or hospital-acquired infections.” Make inferences about ways an interior designer can be most influential in creating designs and specifying materials to help control such infections. 18. Analyze evidence. Review the Design Insight quote by Frank Chimero at the beginning of the chapter. Then take a walking tour of various areas in your community. Cite evidence of design that either supports or does not support the quote. Discuss your findings in class. Think like a Designer 19. Speaking/listening. Interview a fire chief in your community about the importance of circulation patterns related to life safety. Give an oral report of your finds to the class. 20. Speaking/listening/writing. Interview an older adult about his or her abilities or diminished abilities to navigate public and private spaces. What types of spaces (shopping, medical appointments, recreational facilities) does the older adult feel need to be redesigned to be more functional? After the interview, spend additional time observing the older adult navigate through a daily or weekly routine. What design features would make the spaces the older adult uses more functional and easy to navigate? Write a summary of your observations. 21. Research/writing. Use the text and reliable Internet resources to research the following types of healthcare facilities: birthing center, dental office, assisted-living facility, outpatient diagnostic center, rural health clinic, ambulatory surgery center, or hospital. Analyze the needs and design of each facility. Write a summary of your findings. 22. Math practice. Commercial buildings, including schools, have a means of egress and emergency evacuation systems. Using your school as an example:
