NCIDQ - Chapter 4 Test with all Correct & 100% Verified
Answers |Already Graded A+
What are design concepts based on? ✔Correct Answer-The space adjacency needs of the client
developed during programming as well as on theoretical, social, cultural, and psychological issues.
When does space planning begin? ✔Correct Answer-After the design concepts are developed and
approved by the client.
What is space planning? ✔Correct Answer-The process used to translate programmatic needs and
broad design concepts into a physical plan of the space by organizing major rooms and areas,
determining circulation systems, and laying out furniture.
What is a base plan? ✔Correct Answer-A floor plan drawing of the existing space within which the
new design will be placed.
What are the aspects of existing conditions that can influence the space plan of an interior design
project? ✔Correct Answer-Relationship to Surrounding Areas; Size of Existing Space; Views; Special
Features; Structural Considerations; Plumbing
After the pertinent existing conditions have been identified and noted, the next determinant of
space planning is.... ✔Correct Answer-Function
One of the designer's tasks during space planning is.... ✔Correct Answer-To develop organizing
concepts that will satisfy the client's needs and then test them against criteria unique to the
situation, to find the best one to develop in more detail.
There are six general ways plans can be organized, which include: ✔Correct Answer-Open, Linear,
Axial, Centralized, Grid and Clustered, and their variations
What do Linear Organizations consist of? ✔Correct Answer-A series of spaces or rooms that are
placed in a single line. The spaces can be identical or different sizes/shapes, but they always relate to
a unifying line, usually a path of circulation. A linear organization is very adaptable - it can be straight,
bent, or curved, and is easily expandable and can be planned in a modular configuration.
What do Axial Organizations consist of? ✔Correct Answer-Two or more major linear segments
about which spaces or rooms are placed.
What do Grid Systems consist of? ✔Correct Answer-Two sets of spaced elements. The grid
elements may be regularly spaced or irregularly spaced at angles. Open plan workstations or
restaurant tables are examples of grid systems.
What do Central Organizations consist of? ✔Correct Answer-Based on one space or point about
which secondary elements are placed. This is a very formal organization of interiors - e.g. a hotel
lobby.
When more than one linear organization extends from a centralized point, in becomes a ________
Organization. ✔Correct Answer-Radial - Radial plans have a central focus but also extend outward
to connect with other spaces or rooms. They can be circular or assume other shapes.
