Space planning system and method

A system for planning the design of an area and the arrangement of items in the area, said system comprising:

• a unitary, one-piece work sheet having a smooth, non-porous work surface, said work sheet bearing indicia in the form of a grid visible from said work surface;
• and a flexible symbol storage assembly, said assembly including a relatively thick substrate sheet of flexible material having a smooth non-porous storage surface, and a graphic symbol sheet comprising a thin, smooth, flexible sheet of static cling vinyl material adhered only electrostatically to said storage surface, said graphic symbol sheet having a plurality of graphic symbol elements formed thereon so as to be separable from one another and from said storage surface while leaving said storage surface intact and continuous, said elements being respectively in the shapes of views of portions of the boundaries of the area and items to be located therein;
• whereby said elements may be selectively peeled from the electrostatically adhered to said storage surface of said substrate and said work surface of said work sheet for defining the area and arranging the placement of the items therein.
