Adjacency Matrix (10 pts)
Just like in the beginning of Studio 1, we were asked to create an adjacency matrix indicating the relationship of the furniture within our design. This step is part of the programming step of the Design Process. For my cafe layout, I chose to include Tables, Chairs, Booths, Bars, Short Bar Stools, Tall Bar Stools, a Round Table, and Big Chairs. All of these different furnitures have either primary adjacency, secondary adjacency, or they are not adjacent. My adjacency matrix shows that the tables and chairs have p.a. (primary adjacency), as well as the tables with the booths, the bar with the short bar stool, the bar with the tall bar stool, and the round table with the big chairs. This means that each one of these items need to be extremely close to whatever it has p.a. with, and that their connection is not separated by any other objects. Further, the items with s.a. (secondary adjacency) still have a relationship, but it is not as important or urgent that these items be placed right next to each other like in the p.a.
Bubble Diagram (15 pts)
The bubble diagram is also part of the Design Process, like the adjacency matrix; however, it is the next step and is under the Schematic Design section. In this phase, ideas are developed. The bubble diagram helps us to visualize the relationships of objects, and to make sure everything works well together. For my bubble diagram, it also shows the p.a., the s.a., and the non-adjacent relationships, but with different symbols/ lines to represent those relationships. For example, the = means that two objects have p.a. The - means that two objects have s.a. And the x means that these objects have n.a.
