Planning and Organizing Strategies for Interior Spaces

The buildings consist of a group of internal spaces that fulfill their occupant’s requirements, and here comes the importance of planning and organizing strategies for the spaces, that it helps the designer to decide on the relationships of the internal spaces to each other and how to organize them to achieve the functions of the desired activities. Strategies are the plans or methods that are developed to achieve a specific goal in the long term, depending on the procedures and resources available in the short term. The problem of research lies in the lack of sufficient benefit from Planning and Organization Strategies for interior spaces, which negatively affects the fulfillment of users’ requirements, as a result of the interior designer’s awareness lack of the importance of these strategies. The research aims to deduce a simple planning and organizing strategy for internal spaces to solve and simplify the complex problems facing the designer during the design process, as the research highlights the importance of these strategies as one of the most important pillars of the interior spaces design, as the research assumes the possibility of achieving a well-studied interdependence and integration between the internal spaces and circulations to achieve and facilitate their requirements. The research was exposed through an analytical approach to the concepts of planning solutions, spatial relationships, spatial strategies, circulation strategies, and diagram planning, the research also followed the applied approach by projecting these strategies onto some building models. The results confirmed that the strategy is the answer to the question: What are the requirements and needs of the program? And that successful design solutions are in the use of all these tactics, and that following planning and organizing strategies is not just a tendency but an urgent need in order to develop a proposal to design the building diagram and then the plan. This is done through a sequence in the design process that begins first with choosing planning strategies and spatial relationships, then determining Circulation strategies and choosing paths, and ends with developing the Diagram by specifying the user’s spatial requirements.
