What are the types of zoning in architecture?
It is time to limit the Zoning in architecturebecause the scales affect us directly. Among the types of zoning we find the urban and architectural. For the first, we refer to the group that goes from the neighborhood to the city, and is divided between residential use, which only includes homes in any of its modalities; the commercial, for exchange centers, squares, shops, among others; Industrial use, which attaches to manufacturing centers, and the cultural or recreational, which covers schools, museums, art galleries, and so on. This zoning is essential when designing cities, because it helps organize them; It is not correct to place the house near factories, but of schools or shopping centers. Now, architectural zoning refers to what we have already mentioned: public, private and services zone.
Once again, the zoning will be the product of your relationship study, because you can agglomerate the spaces for their characteristics. To exemplify it, we will take an office building as an example. When studying the distribution by relationships and privacy, its zoning will be divided as follows: the public area will be the lobby of customer reception, suppliers and the same parking lot, since they are the areas where anyone can enter; The private area, meanwhile, will be limited to the workers, and the spaces will be the offices, the Board Rooms, the auditoriums, the dining rooms, the terraces and the same parking lot that will have designated places, and finally, the service area, which will encompass the toilets, the vertical circulations, the cleaning wineries, warehouses, etc. As you can see, Zoning groups the spaces according to the similarity of its characteristics.

How is the zoning of a house?
So that you can have greater clarity about this architectural concept, It always helps do several exercises. Previously we saw the brief zoning of an office building, but the example of the house always clarifies much better. Suppose that, according to the dimensions of an invented land, we can develop the entire architectural program of our house in a single level, which will consist of two rooms, a guest bedroom, three bathrooms, a study, a stay, a television room, a dining room, a kitchen, a wash room, the garden and the Garage.
