Abstract

As a frequent scene in the daily life of contemporary people, the design approach of office space has always been of great concern. Based on the above background, a user-driven approach to office space design is proposed to address the need for more distinction between different careers and the phenomenon of homogeneity and pattern in office space design nowadays. The Kano model, AHP, and QFD Methods are integrated into the office space design. Firstly, the users were targeted towards designers, and fourteen user requirements were obtained through research and classified into attributes using Kano; Secondly, AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) was introduced to solve the weight values of different attributes of user requirements; Thirdly, to acquire the priority ranking of design elements, QFD (Quality Function Deployment) was used to determine the design elements to be emphasized in the design process. Finally, the resulting theory is applied to design practice to test whether the approach is reasonable and to provide a new idea for office space design.

Office space design based on Kano Model, AHP, QFD Methods

As a frequent scene in the daily life of contemporary people, the design approach of office space has always been of great concern. Based on the above background, a user-driven approach to office space design is proposed to address the need for more distinction between different careers and the phenomenon of homogeneity and pattern in office space design nowadays. The Kano model, AHP, and QFD Methods are integrated into the office space design. Firstly, the users were targeted towards designers, and fourteen user requirements were obtained through research and classified into attributes using Kano; Secondly, AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) was introduced to solve the weight values of different attributes of user requirements; Thirdly, to acquire the priority ranking of design elements, QFD (Quality Function Deployment) was used to determine the design elements to be emphasized in the design process. Finally, the resulting theory is applied to design practice to test whether the approach is reasonable and to provide a new idea for office space design.
