Chapter 2 – Case Studies
Historical Precedents
The design of this facility will first look to historical precedents to help create the overall design narrative, and inform the design process. These precedents will be looked to help solve the design problems that where discussed in the previous chapter. These will direct the facilities design in both concept development as well as space layout.
The first of the historical precedents is the Paimio Sanatorium which was designed with the user of the space at the forefront of the design process. Secondly the church of light uses that element to create a comfortable and ethereal space for the end users. The third is the city of culture which allows for the user of the space as a whole to both interact with the built environment as well as move though the space with ease. Through a look into what makes these spaces a success, as well as looking at what they lack, will create a design narrative that will influence the built environment for the users of this treatment center.

In the textbook it states a mission as being “the reason an organization exists, and it must be the starting point for its planning.” (Worth, p.172) The mission of the center is very sound, but in the process of hiring a new director, I think the mission focus was lost. I saw a couple of incidences of “mission creep“ in the reading. (Worth, p.173) One being the focus the trustees put on not
The second choice for the alternative design for Dynacorp would be Functional / Product matrix of strategic design. Dynacorp manufactures a range of products in the field of global information systems and communications.
