Aménagement intérieur. [...] Cloisonnettes mobiles. Elles vont remplir une triple fonction dans l’espace fonctionnel : délimiter de petits groupes au sein de l’espace fonctionnel, tout en les individualisant; séparer les postes de travail des cadres, les zones de détente ...; morceler les origines du bruit et orienter les faisceaux sonores vers un plafond absorbant. Les dimensions seront par exemple : hauteur 150 cm, largeur 150 cm environ. Il est nécessaire de laisser un espace libre (environ 15 cm) entre le bas de la cloison et le sol, pour le renouvellement de l’air. 1, record 2, French, - cloisonnette%20mobile
