Why Space Adjacency Analysis?? • the conversion of written information into graphic form • transformation of various kinds of information into visual images ( context/site analysis) • diagramming expresses project requirements for design thinking • graphic refinement of diagrams makes them more readable and useful but also provides the opportunity to mentally engage with the drawings for design synthesis. • provides a rationale for justifying the design.

weak design vocabulary = weak design ideas
• 1. Matrix – mechanics – interpretation
• 2. Bubble – mechanics – interpretation
• 3. Zoning – mechanics – interpretation

the learning that occurs when we unscramble the bubble diagram makes the adjacency requirements second nature and facilitates our focus on design ideas. The act of making and unscrambling can be more valuable than the drawing itself !

the zoning diagrams simplify the design task by reducing the number of components for early design idea conceptualization

Reading the matrix, bubble and zoning diagrams for design implications is a key activity to bridging between
analysis and synthesis problem and solution
by translating the words and diagrams into architectural design ideas.
Design ideas come from the depth of your individual design vocabulary.
