Space Adjacency Analysis

Space adjacency analysis involves diagramming project requirements through matrix, bubble, and zoning diagrams to understand relationships between spaces. These diagrams express needs graphically, make requirements clearer, and facilitate design thinking by engaging the mind. They provide rationale for design decisions and translate analysis into synthesis through design ideas derived from engaging with the diagrams.

Why Space Adjacency Analysis??
• the conversion of written information into graphic form

• diagramming expresses project requirements for design


thinking

• graphic refinement of diagrams makes them more


readable and useful but also provides the opportunity to
mentally engage with the drawings for design synthesis.

• provides a rationale for


justifying the design.

the learning that occurs when we unscramble the bubble diagram makes
the adjacency requirements second nature and facilitates our focus on
design ideas.

The act of making and unscrambling can be more valuable than the
drawing itself!

the zoning diagrams simplify the design task by reducing the number of
components for early design idea conceptualization

SUMMARY: Reading the matrix, bubble and zoning diagrams for design
implications is a key activity to bridging between

analysis and synthesis


to

problem and solution

by translating the words and diagrams into architectural design ideas.

Design ideas come from the depth of your individual


design vocabulary.
