Assignment 1

The surface area is 32” deep and 42” wide. The actual usable area is given by how far I can reach into the other side of the desk or the length of my arm and the purpose of the desk. The combination of these two factors creates the space for storing books, the area for stationary, the flexible working surface, and the eating area.

The main function of the desk is to serve as a working area. Since my arm is not long enough to reach to the other side of the table in seating position, I decided to make an unusable area to be a usable area by using as book storage. As a right-handed user, the stationary are was put on the right side of the desk. The area that was left was the actual working area that was also flexible enough to use as an eating area.

The actual space that people actually use is not an object that they put in the space, but it is an empty space around the abject that people actually interact and live with. In this analysis the usage of the desk surface will be different based on the person who uses that space.
