In designing the interior of a physical fitness center, Sybil pays attention to sight lines and the arrangement of rooms and equipment to avoid the fishbowl effect common to such structures. She wants to give people working out a sense of privacy and isolation. Accordingly, she designs the center’s workout areas to have lots of short walls and angles to reduce the number of people visible in any given direction. In reviewing her plans, the client is dismayed. What do you predict are potential problems with Sybil’s design? (Select all that apply.) The complicated nature of Sybil’s design means that she is probably in violation of numerous codes governing the construction of such structures.

It would be impossible to have fitness classes because the trainer and the class members wouldn’t be able to see each other as they work out.

The lack of sight lines that can encompass entire areas means lots of hidden corners that can create safety and security concerns.

The labyrinth effect of so many short walls and angles likely means that the facility doesn’t make effective use of natural light coming in from outside.

The potential problems with Sybil's design are;

1) Due to the complicated nature of Sybil's design means that she is probably in violation of numerous codes governing the construction of such structures

2) It would be impossible to have fitness classes because the trainer and the class members wouldn't be able to see each other as they work out

3) The lack of sight lines that can encompass entire areas means lots of hidden corners that can create safety and security concerns

4) The labyrinth of so many short walls and angles likely means that the facility doesn't make effective use of natural light coming in from outside

Explanation:

The design considerations for a fitness center includes

1) Provision of adequate space for circulation

2) The sizes of the interior should be varied to avoid the feeling of being inside a big box

3) Allow ample access to natural light

4) Visibility of activity areas to increase interest

5) Ensure that likely dangerous spaces are visible

6) Avoid the creation of dark or hidden corners

Therefore

1) There are likely probabilities that Sybil's design could be in violation of federal and state codes for building similar structures

2) There will be reduced visibility of the trainer

3) Hidden areas formed, due to lack of visibility can be a source of concern for safety

4) There could be limited access for natural light within the facility
