Abstract

This paper examines the effect of spatial integration properties of different functions on visual perception. Specifically, the visual characteristics of integrating living and kitchen spaces in economic residential apartments. The research aims to know the role of interior design based on space integration in organizing the visual scene and movement and a sense of spatial expansion in the integrated spaces.

The methodology of the study to diagnose the characteristics of the spatial relationship between a living space and another service relied on the use of the VGA (visibility graph analysis) theory، which is one of the theories of Space Syntax. This theory is based on reconfiguring architectural plans with convex maps to diagnose Isovist fields and calculating the values ​​of coefficients for optical integration and communication. This method was used in this study to diagnose the difference in visual perception between the design idea that is based on the incorporation of living spaces and the kitchen and the idea that we do not merge between them using a realistic model design for an apartment with an area less than 140 m 2.

Spatial analyzes conclude (i) that the idea of ​​overlapping design has achieved a significant reduction in movement spaces in favor of functional and service spaces while maintaining a high level of social privacy. (ii) The use of the theory of analysis of the fields of vision before implementation greatly assisted in the early simulation of the design and distribution of the elements of different interior design to reach the final decision. (iii) Use the theory of Space Syntax techniques and the abundance of simple measurement tools to understand the visual and kinetic relationships, which provided a great agreement between the designer and the owner in the speed of decision making.
