Lesson Topic
Philosophy of Space Planning: Comfortable Space
Lesson Outline
We discussed how psychologists studied how various strangers would enter a room and sit down in the future, and how studies have shown (before covid}: Family members would find comfort from 0ft to 3ft, friends and neighbors would find comfort in spacing 3 ft to 5 ft, and how strangers would feel comfortable 5 feet and beyond. With this study, we are able to understand why COVID doctors have suggested 5 feet distance between people is the minimum. We related this study to living room furniture arrangements and why dining room chairs are spaced a certain distance around a table. We talked a little further about spacing of seating in commercial spaces. For example, how in a doctors office, there may be 20-30 chairs, yet people sit the furthest away from one another. We did an introduction of the elements of design, which we will go further into in Friday's session.

Lesson Comments
Sophia is a very sophisticated soul. She is very receptive to learning about these interior design topics. She is excited for her birthday. Looking forward to Friday's virtual session. We are going to work on more examples of how people decide to sit in rooms, and go further into reviewing function verses aesthetics, and the elements of design: proportion, balance, texture, etc. We discussed how she could apply these thoughts at the beginning of each project, to include her bedroom design in her new home.
