Assignment 7-Matrix & Bubble Diagram

  1. I think it's a good start. Depending on your design concept and the direction, you may want to modify the relationships of each program. I also cannot comment further because I have no information about your site condition.

    What you may do later is to superimposed this bubble diagram to your site condition to understand the context and the relationship to the programs. Auditorium is at the very center of the diagram, which is typically true, but this may not be true later.

    In which then, one part I find misleading is the strong link between Auditorium-Mens-Womens room link. It may sound dumb but graphically, it is something that pulls my eyes at first glance, also because it is situated on the center of the diagrams.

    That being said, I'll take this to an absurd level. Who knows, maybe it is your intention to have a strong relationship between bathrooms and . This reminded me of a scene from Woody Allen's movie, "To Rome With Love", where a performer sings opera in a shower, on the stage! Yes, ridiculous but there is a very logical reason behind this performance if you follow the movie.

    Also, shouldn't these whole program elements be contained within an "auditorium"?

    Just make sure you're not misrepresenting your ideas.

  2. Yuhui,
    you are missing an assignment. You were supposed to take your case studies and analyze the program of spaces. That should give you more insight of what your building should have. Also please provide a link to the GROUP site analysis.

  3. Your programme while a good start is quite thin. There are innumerable spaces required for a performing arts center which are completely absent in your scheme. It would be wise to research further into the programming of your typology before wading too deep in the waters.

  4. Just keep in mind that bubble diagrams can be very helpful for understanding the organizational and functional aspects of a design but they can also restrict us from exploring alternatives.
