Bubble DiagramsBubble Diagrams

1

Why have them?

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

TermsTerms

• Bubble diagram– Graphic means of organizing spaces within a design

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

Steps in using bubble diagramsSteps in using bubble diagrams1. List functions to be performed (ex: museum)

i d i i i d i l ifstorage, operations, administration, educational, gift shop, exhibits, prep areas, café, staff area, children’s area, public restrooms

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

exhibits storagestorage operations, administration educational children’s areas

4

public restrooms, prep area, staff areacafé, gift shop

3. Taking circulation gbetween spaces into consideration, d b bbldraw bubbles (drawn to

ti lproportional relationship)

5

4. Evaluate placement of bubbles using4. Evaluate placement of bubbles using design parameters

6

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

7

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

Further develop preliminary floor planFurther develop preliminary floor plan

PART TWO : Design PossibilitiesBubble 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
