Spatial Course Overview
This ergonomics course module provides a systematic, floor plan-based examination of circulation flow, functional clear zones, and daily movement friction points. Participants learn to isolate passage bottlenecks, map vector paths between task zones, and integrate spatial buffers without requiring structural rebuilding.
Sequential Planning Focus
Spatial performance improves when floor plans prioritize transition passages over static placement. By evaluating daily movement sequences in practical workbook units, you systematically eliminate path intersections and optimize task efficiency.
