2250 Diagramming

This document outlines the importance of drawing and diagramming in architecture. It discusses how architects use drawings to think through design concepts, communicate with clients, and provide construction details. Diagrams are presented as a way to explore early design ideas through visual abstractions that simplify concepts into essential elements and relationships. Examples of common types of diagrams are provided, including site diagrams, bubble diagrams, and circulation diagrams. Famous architects like Charles Moore, Glenn Murcutt, and Steven Holl are shown to emphasize the role of sketching in design. The document concludes with an assignment asking students to analyze the spatial relationships in a floor plan through prepared diagrams.

Graphic diagrams are visual abstractions that show concepts and/or objects. They are used in the initial stages of the design and exploration process. Diagrams can vary from loose, freehand sketches

Diagramming is part of the design process. Different concepts and ideas can be quickly investigated and communicated.

DRAWING / DIAGRAMMING

There are many types of diagrams.

Many other professions (music, math, business, etc) use diagrams to explain and clarify their visual thinking.

Diagrams focus on general information. They encourage the designer to explore alternatives.

Two-dimensional diagrams can communicate not only organizational ideas, but also implications of form (what the building will look like).

Some aspects of a building that can be diagrammed are:

1. Program functions 2. Levels of privacy 3. Circulation 4. Site conditions and context 5. Spatial hierarchy and relationships 6. Geometric properties 7. Lighting conditions 8. Structure and enclosure

A Parti diagram shows a concept in its simplest form. It focuses on the key structural and relational features of an idea. The term PARTI refers to the concept or primary organizing idea of a design

Lines and Arrows are important diagramming tools.

Lines can be drawn to show symmetry, symmetry relationships, boundaries, etc. Different linetypes may indicate various concepts.

Arrows show movement in one or more directions. Different size arrows may indicate their importance.
