Space Use Characteristics and Categorization of University Professor`s Office Identified through Physical Trace Method |
| Abstract |
The purpose of this study was to identify and categorize the space use characteristics of the university professor`s office. The data were recorded and collected through the physical trace method. Acture Measurement, Photograph, sketch and CAD drawings were used to trace 118 professors offices at Yonsei University. The analysed features were the user characteristics, the size, characteristics of space (such as composition, layout and furniture arrangement), the appliance and the instrument characteristics. To categorize the `space use` characteristics, 6 variables were used : 1) the territorial characteristics, 2) the spatial relationship between professor`s territory and entrance, 3) the layout type of work area, 4) the spatial relationship between professor`s and assistant`s work area, 5) the arrangement of table, and 6) the completion of sofa set.The results of this study are expected to be used as a basis for the development of design alternatives for the most typical university professors` office. |
