Proxemics

July 8th 2008

Proxemics This is the study of how individuals use space, proper space planning will account for three types of territory, private, personal and social. Private space is accepted to be a space of 450mm around the individual. If another person enters this space it is often and instinctively taken as hostile. Personal territory is 450-1200mm this is the work area where a person would keep belongings and work tools. 1200mm - 3600m is the social territory where professional and casual relationships occur. These space relationships must be carefully considered when working up a design and the layout of the office furniture can help determine these three territories with the definition of work spaces and meeting spaces.
