Bubble Diagrams

Why have them? They play an important role in design practice. Diagrams are drawn to explore ideas and sol solutions tions in the earl early, concept conceptual al phases of design. They are used to help designers think about design parameters and are a fast way to record their ideas. Good designers g find it hard to "think without a pencil" and "must interact with the drawing".

Terms
Bubble diagram
Graphic means of organizing spaces within a design

Bubble
Round or elliptical shape representing one space within a design that is drawn showing its location and proportional size

Steps in using bubble diagrams

1. List functions to be performed (ex: museum)
storage, operations, i administration, d i i i educational, d i l gift if shop, exhibits, prep areas, caf, staff area, childrens area, public restrooms

2. Rank functions according to size allocation (approximate square footage)

exhibits storage operations, administration educational childrens areas public restrooms, prep area, staff area caf, gift shop

3. Taking g circulation between spaces into consideration, d draw b bubbles bbl (drawn to proportional ti l relationship)

4. Evaluate placement of bubbles using design parameters

5. Using overlays, rearrange bubbles until best layout is achieved that satisfies design parameters

6. From final bubble diagram create a preliminary li i d design i

Further develop preliminary floor plan

 Evaluation must include circulation and spatial positions

Bubble Diagrams are an importaint part of the design process and allow the designer to layout rooms without committing to room shape and size. This is where you place your bubble diagrams. You should draw or attach your two top ideas to this page.

Design #1

Design #2

PART TWO cont.: Rough Sketch

This sketch should be the result of taking the componants from your bubble diagrams your client desires and laying out a final rough draft design. You will want to make your bubbles light and darken in roughly where walls will be. Annotate where design features, windows and doors, and special materials will be located and
