Museum Needs Assessment Overview
Museum Needs Assessment Overview
Every architectural project arises from a need. Upon detecting this need and trying to
emotional or of some other kind. Therefore, it needs very diverse spaces to fulfill
the end.
This program is established subsequently to the analysis of the information provided by the
qualified and prioritized needs, in order to determine the spaces required by the
population; where the needs and aspirations demanded by the community are established.

PROJECT DESIGN CRITERIA.
In order to determine an appropriate and specific design for the place where it is proposed, it is necessary
to take into consideration criteria that lead to obtaining the best results regarding
functionality, integration, and volumetry, which is why the following criteria are mentioned
ARCHITECTURAL CRITERIA
.
URBAN CRITERIA.
Criteria such as: Road Infrastructure, which will help users have easy
access to the museum, at the same time the image it will project will enhance the urban development of the
city.
Road infrastructure.
Here, the entire communication system that a specific project must have is defined.
that through it, human beings have the means for the integration of one area and another.
FUNCTIONAL CRITERIA.
FUNCTIONALITY.
The functionality of space is characterized by responding to the relationship that exists between the
The form, based on the action of a space or object, is the essential foundation of architecture.
then we will say that functionality is an essential design criterion, one that makes use of
adequate of all spaces within the architectural satisfies internal needs and
external to the interaction and communication space making mention that a solution
functional necessarily responds to both the physical need of the human being and also that
CIRCULATION.
The circulation criteria are an important part as they regulate the entire system, making a
logical and appropriate design, this allows direct communication between the exterior spaces and
interiors, designing good circulation would allow for the relationship between man and the
transportation moves in order and safety, when traffic is not well designed the
Within circulation, we can mention two types: Vertical Circulation and Horizontal Circulation.
78
VERTICAL CIRCULATION
It is one that allows man to have communication between different surfaces or levels.
These can be identified as fixed circulations, although there are also circulations
For there to be a good relationship between internal and external spaces, it is necessary to plan.
HORIZONTAL CIRCULATION
This circulation is different from the vertical one as it only allows circulation at a
same level among which we can mention: The Plazas, The Lobbies, The Hallways,
Etc. In order for there to be no obstacles within this circulation, it is necessary for it to be designed in such a way
so that there are no doors, divisions, furniture, etc. It is necessary to calculate and organize this
circulation in which good use of the spaces must be made taking into account their
dimensions.
LIGHTING.
determined space the artificial light necessary, for a space to achieve a good use of light
It is necessary to create openings that connect the outside space with the inside, such as: The
a ventilation, which have to go hand in hand. The artificial lighting has to be designed
FORMAL CRITERIA
SOBRIETY.
Within the exhibition halls, it will be necessary to try not to generate constructive elements or
Architectural elements that visually distract the attention that the visitor should pay to the objects.
80
PROPORTION.
The possibility of designing a closed structure for the building will be studied given the character
of the collections that will be exhibited in the anthropological museum of the eastern zone, implies
protection criteria because they mostly involve objects whose exposure must be
STRUCTURAL.
Massive construction allows important elements such as: Beams or Columns, to remain and not
If some structural elements remain visible, the materials must be appropriate for the
used in constructions of the urban environment and must be characteristic of the place and integrate
visually with the general appearance of what will be contained within the space.
TECHNICAL CRITERIA.
MATERIALS.
Construction materials that meet the required strength and durability will be used.
design project requirements for this type may include concrete blocks, windows of
glass lattices, concrete bricks of terrazzo type or ceramic for flooring as the case may be,
corrugated metal sheet, asbestos cement or slab as required, for all roofs
INSTALLATIONS.
Regarding hydraulic installations related to drinking water, the branches must be distributed in
outdoor areas where inspection and maintenance is facilitated, and does not obstruct normal
operation of the work or visit area in case repairs need to be carried out
Regarding drainage, sewage and rainwater will be discharged into the nearby pipes.
INTERACTION MATRIX.
After analyzing the general and secondary needs, the spaces were obtained.
architectural. Then a diagram will be created that is achieved with the relationship of
spaces through a double list or a diagram where one grows with the other to place a sign
RELATION DIAGRAM.
proceed to create the relationship diagrams that consist of transferring the information
obtained from the interaction matrix to graphs or diagrams connected through lines that signifies its
relationship.
