Rumskonfiguration

Rumskonfiguration describes the spatial organization and arrangement of functional areas within a room or building. In architecture, interior design, and facility planning, it covers the geometry of the space, the placement of walls or partitions, doors and openings, and the arrangement of furniture, fittings, and equipment to support intended uses.

Key components include room dimensions, circulation routes, zones for different activities, accessibility and safety clearances, acoustics, daylighting, and services such as HVAC and electrical outlets. The goal is to create a layout that maximizes usability, comfort, and flexibility while minimizing wasted space and facilitating efficient workflows.

Design approaches may range from fixed, modular layouts to flexible configurations using movable furniture and partitions. Designers often begin with measurements and conceptual sketches, then develop 2D plans and 3D models or BIM representations. Simulations of pedestrian flow, acoustic performance, thermal comfort, and daylight distribution can inform decisions before construction or renovation.

Applications span residential spaces, offices, educational settings, healthcare facilities, hospitality, and public interiors. Trends emphasize open plans with adaptable zones, integrated technology, and user-centered design. Effective rumskonfiguration balances function and aesthetics, supports safety and accessibility, and accommodates future needs as use patterns evolve.
