Bubble Diagrams

I'm currently planning the condo layout for a school project, which involves planning adjacency and spatial relationships. This is primarily done using an adjacency matrix and bubble diagrams.

Bubble diagrams represent rooms in approximate scaled size, but more importantly determine location with other rooms in the space. They are meant to be fast, messy, exploratory, and easy to crumple up and start over. My prof recommends completing them on trace paper for this very reason!

Bubble diagrams are on the NCIDQ exam, so if you want to be a licensed interior designer, you need to know them!
Even though they aren't intended to be pretty, I think there is something absolutely darling about these diagrams. Don't you?

Kitchen Floor Plans and Elevations

It's not your typical Wednesday Doodle (which I'm sorry have been lacking lately, so busy with school!), but it is something that I drew by hand!

Introducing my kitchen floor plan and elevations for my Space Planning class:

 One mistake here is that I should have either not included the range hood in my floor plan and assumed the ceiling is cut at half height, OR represented the range hood with dashed lines and shown the details of the range. But I'm learning!

Drawing Elevations is so fun! It really lets you see your design concept come to life.

And I'm happy to report that I received a 100% on my first floor plan ever, the living and dining room! Happy to have started off on the right foot.
