Functional zoning of architectural design principles

A general building consists of many parts. When designing buildings with different functions, we should combine them into several relatively independent areas or groups according to their respective functional requirements and their mutual relations, so that the layout of the buildings is clear and easy to use. For the parts that are closely related in use, make them close to each other; The parts that interfere with each other in use should be separated. The designer should separate the main use part from the auxiliary use part; Separate the public part (external part) from the private part (internal part); Separate "noisy" (or "dynamic") parts from those that need to be "quiet"; Separate the parts of the clean area that will produce smoke, ash, smell, noise and even pollute the vision.

In order to express the use relationship inside the building, you can draw an analysis diagram-usually called a functional relationship diagram. The function diagram shows the application, the position and relationship of each component and the function division. The following schematic diagram of the functional relationship of the canteen (Figure 2) shows the flow of diners, the food processing flow in the kitchen, and the relationship among the kitchen, meal preparation and restaurant that make up the canteen. For buildings with complex functions, drawing this functional relationship diagram is helpful to design analysis and make the plane layout of the design more reasonable.
