WISH LIST “SPATIAL PROGRAMME“

For each building to be constructed, a room plan is drawn up, specifying to the architect which rooms must be accommodated in his or her design.
The spatial plan is the starting point for a building plan and is compiled by the client (“the contractor”) as part of the project development. It represents a first detailed overview of the building task and the subsequent construction, including a description of the rooms and their function.
On the basis of this spatial plan, the architects define in their plans not only the extent, type and distribution of the rooms, but also the connections between and openings of the rooms. The way in which the rooms are connected and their location and the size are the factors that determine the function of the rooms and their spatial hierarchies. Every building has main rooms that are used frequently, and secondary rooms that are used less often.

In the "Wish List" workshop, students were introduced to the topic of spatial programmes. As an introduction, photos brought by students of their favourite places in their own living environment were presented and discussed. What activity do I carry out here? How much space do I need for it?
In small groups, wishes for a possible spatial programme were defined and then implemented in collages.
Prefabricated room squares on a scale of 1:25 were used as a guide to compare the areas with the activities envisaged.
A similar room square on a scale of 1:1 was taped to the floor in order to be able to physically and repeatedly check ideas.
