4. This project has been created on topic to learn the commercial
anthropometric. In this I learn standard human dimensions
required for designing public spaces like retail shops, office,
restaurant, bars etc. This project has been created under the
guidance of Ms. Divya Sharma. I am very thankful to Dezyne E’cole
college.
Synopsis

5. The science dealing specially with the measurement of the human
body to determine differences in individuals, groups, etc., is
termed Anthropometry. The anthropometry is viewed mainly as
exercises in simple measurement and nothing more, one might
conclude that the dimensional data could be gathered simply and
effortlessly. Nothing, however, could be further from the truth.
There are many complicating factors and difficulties involved. One
such factor is that body sizes vary with age, sex, race, and even
occupational group.
Human body dimensions that impact on the design of interior
spaces are of two basic types – Structural and Functional.
Structural dimensions, sometimes referred to as “static”
dimensions, include measurements of the head, torso, and limbs in
standard positions. Functional dimensions, also referred to as
“dynamic” dimensions, as the term suggests, include
measurements taken in working positions or during the movement
associated with certain tasks.
Appropriateness
It is essential, due to many variables involved, that the data
selected be appropriate to the user of the space or furniture to be
designed. It becomes necessary, therefore, for the intended user
population to be properly defined in term of such factors as age,
sex, occupation, and ethnicity.
Reach, clearance, and Adjustability
The selection of appropriate anthropometric data is based on the
nature of the particular design problem under consideration. If the
design requires the user to reach from a seated or standing
position, the 5th percentile data should be utilized.
Commercial Anthropometry

6. The design clearance is the primary consideration, the larger or
95th percentile data should be used. If the design will allow
adequate clearance for the user with the largest body size, it would
also allow clearance for those users with smaller body size.
It may be desirable to provide the design with a built-in adjustment
capability. The range of adjustment should be based on the
anthropometrics of the user, the nature of the task, and the
physical or mechanical limitations involved.
Range of joint motion
The angle formed by two body segments or by one such segment
and vertical or horizontal plane usually defines the range of joint
motion at any given time. The total range is measured by the angle
formed between the two most extreme positions possible.

7. RECEPTION SPACES

8. The drawings on the following pages examine the relationship of
human dimension to the design of reception spaces. The three
key areas of concern include visitor seating, the reception desk,
and location of graphics or corporate identification. In regard to
seating, the clearances around the seating elements to
accommodate circulation are stressed more than the design of
the individual seating unit itself. Of particular importance is the
design of the reception desk in terms of its responsiveness to the
anthropometrics requirements of the seated receptionist and the
standing visitor within the context of a high counter-type
arrangement and a conventional desk arrangement.
The depth of the work surface should accommodate the thumb
tip reach measurements of the user of smaller body size so that
packages and correspondence can be exchanged. Of equal
importance is eye height sitting to ensure visibility over the
counter and eye contact with the standing visitor. Eye height of
both seated and standing person is also essential in establishing
the height and location of corporate signage or other graphic
material to ensure its visibility. Details of such elements of
reception space are included as well as suggested clearances and
other dimensions for use in preliminary design assumptions.
Reception Space

12. The general approach in establishing conference table sizes is much
the same as that used for dining table. Instead of the place setting
used with dining tables, a work zone to accommodate documents,
papers, and other reference materials should be taken under
consideration. The amount of material to be accommodated, may
vary greatly depending upon the nature of the organization
involved and the type of meeting. The amount of perimeter space
allocated to each individual should at the very least be adequate to
accommodate the maximum body breath, allow for the extension
of the elbows away from the body, and provide for documents and
other material. The other factor to be considered in conjunction
with seat spacing is its effect on sight lines directed at either end of
the table. Clearance around the table for circulation should
accommodate the maximum body breath of the user of larger
body size and allow for the space taken up by chair.
Conference Rooms

16. RETAIL SPACES

17. In an interior environment such as a retail space, where customer
convenience and comfort are a matter of corporate policy, the
responsiveness of the design to human dimensions and body sizes
is extremely critical. The interface between the user and the
various types of sales counter and self displays must be of high
quality. Various counter types for use from both seated and
standing positions, indicating the anthropometric considerations
involved and suggested dimensional clearances for use in making
preliminary design assumptions.
Proper visibility of displays both from within and from without is
also crucial to the successful design of a retail space. The eye
height of the small and large viewer and the geometric
implications of human vision must be accommodated. The height
of a wrapping counter, the size of a dressing cubicle, the critical
dimensions of a shoe department, and circulation around and
between merchandise displays must all accommodate users of
varying body size. Illustrations of these aspects of retail spaces are
also among the drawings include in this section, together with
suggested clearances.
Retail Spaces

25. FOOD STORES

26. When considering the implication of human dimensions in relation
to the design of self-service food stores, the shopping cart should
be viewed as an extension of the human figure and the combined
measurements as a unit to be accommodated for purposes of
establishing necessary clearances. This is more critical in terms of
overall length than width considerations, since the maximum body
breath dimension, particularly of those of larger body size, is also
sufficient to accommodate the width of the chart itself. Height of
shelving for display of merchandise should be responsive to the
reach limitations of the smaller shopper, and the display of
merchandise should relate to the eye height of the majority of
users. Depending on store size and economics, width of aisles
should include an activity zone directly adjacent to the
merchandise display unit adequate to accommodate a standing or
kneeling user, who is scanning shelves, selecting goods, or loading
a cart, as well as a circulation zone that could accommodate two
lanes of shoppers with carts. Clearances between checkout booths
should be adequate to accommodate a wheelchair- bound
shopper. The situations discussed are included together with
dimensional suggestions for use in making preliminary design
assumptions.
Food Stores

30. HAIR STYLING

31. One of the most important considerations in making hair styling
spaces responsive to human dimension is that of adjustability.
Given the tremendous variability in both size, both in term of the
customer and the stylist and the nature of the activity involved, it
is virtually impossible to accommodate the majority of people
without some degree of adjustability to compensate for the great
variability In body size. The range of adjustment possible in most
standard chairs on the market is not great enough. The styling
operation, requires the operator to style the hair of the seated
customer about the lower head, neck, and shoulder areas. Not
only is it essential that the stylist have a clear view of the work
area, but in many instances he or she must be able to step back
and check for smoothness and level of cut. Even with the chair
elevated to its maximum position, the taller stylist must still stoop
to perform his work. Until such time that more chairs with a
greater range of adjustability become available, the interior
designer or architect should explore other ways to make the
operation more responsive to the limitations imposed by human
dimension and body size.
Hair Styling

35. The drawing illustrate in plan and section the consideration that
should make the design of bars more sensitive to human body size.
Clearance and other dimensional data for use in making
preliminary design assumption are also indicated. The
anthropometric measurements of major concern are indicated in
the matrix above.
Bars

39. The basic approach to drawing to ensuring a proper interface
between customer and food counter is similar to that used for a
bar. Maximum body depth and breadth should be taken into
account in establishing clearance for workspace behind the
counter. The height of the shelves and depth of the counters
should accommodate the human reach limitations of those of
smaller body size, for such clearance will also accommodate those
of larger body size.
Food Counters

43. Proper clearance for circulation and service aisle, adequate knee
and thigh space between the top of the seat and the underside of
the table, accessibility for the wheelchair-bound person, and
adequate clearance around the perimeter of the table are the basic
factors to take into account to ensure the proper relationship
between human dimension and dining space.
Among other consideration examined in the drawing on the
following pages is the development of an incremental unit to be
used in allocating the proper space per diner.
Dining Spaces

52. The drive for health and physical fitness has made exercise
activities a popular pastime for many and a major business
enterprise for other. Some activities require no equipment, while
others involve equipment ranging in level sophistication and cost
from a simple set of fixed weight dumbbells to precision-
engineered nine-station exercise machines costing thousands of
dollars.
Most exercise spaces also include locker facilities of one type or
another and their design must respond to human dimensions and
body size as well. This dimension plus the maximum body breadth
of a larger person can be used in establishing a comfortable overall
clearance.
Exercise Areas

55. Aside from the basic anthropometric consideration involved to
accommodate most sports and games activities, certain of these
activities present some unique problems. The present lack of
enforceable building code regulations to ensure that the design of
the interior spaces housing active sports corresponds to human
dimensions and the dynamics of people.
Sports And Games

59. Horizontal circulation spaces may include typical corridors found in
public buildings ranging from 60 to 144 inches wide, lobbies,
pedestrian promenades, plazas in enclosed shopping malls, and
large circulation and concourse areas in transportation terminals.
The drawing on the following pages deal primarily of
measurement. The incremental unit is than applied within the
context of queuing situations and corridors.
Horizontal Spaces

65. No public space can function without adequate vertical circulation
systems. If these systems are not designed with human body size in
mind. For stairs width, most prevailing standards and guidelines
directly or indirectly employ a unit of measurement of 22 inches.
Tread and riser relationships are also based on assorted rule of
thumb and formulas, many of which are in conflict with each other.
The drawing on the following pages examine some of these
conditions and suggest clearance and other dimensional data
responsive to human dimension and body size.
Vertical Spaces

68. The term public toilet facility is to a large degree generic since it is
quite possible and proper to create sub classification depending on
the user population it is intended to serve. The anthropometric
considerations, particularly during these peak periods are also
quite similar.
The drawing on the following pages examine some conditions and
such clearance and other dimensional data more responsive to
human body size and dimension.
Public Bathrooms

72. The quality of the interface between any visual communication
system and the viewer is, to a very large degree, a function of the
extent to which the design of that system and the interior space in
which it is housed responds to certain fundamental human
capabilities and constraints.
The drawing on the following pages deal with the basics: the range
of head movement in the horizontal and vertical planes and the
visual field in the horizontal and vertical planes.
Basics

77. Visual communication systems for group viewing present
somewhat different problems than those normally associated with
systems designed for the individual viewer. Ideal displays for the
latter are located so the viewing angle is generally below the
horizontal level.
The drawing that follow explore various aspects of the group
viewing process and suggest clearance and other data for use in
preliminary design studies.
