THE DIAGRAMS ‘The matrix, bubble and zoning diagrams will be expiained in detail later. They are briefly described here as part of our {general introduction to space adjacency analysis. Ohi u- Qvne Ce bea Hichen thing WZA ledrooms bat § Aicheg | dining, \ 1 den owe The Matrix Diagram. The matrix is a simple two dimensional grid which is used to determine the relative impor- tance of the proximity of building spaces. to one another in the facility. On the matrix, all the client’ spaces are listed across the top and again down the side. Where two different spaces cross in the grid, we note the relative importance of those two spaces being near one another in the building. These decisions are usu- ally made with our client. The Bubble Diagram. The bubble diagram converts the decisions. which ‘were recorded in the matrix into a dif- ferent and more useful graphic form. In the bubble diagram, each building space is represented by a circle or bubble with lines connecting the bubbles (spaces) that need to be adjacent to each other in the building, The thicknesses of the lines ‘connecting the bubbles indicate the rela- tive intensity of the operational connec- tion between the activities in the spaces. The Zoning Diagrams. In the zon- ing diagrams, additional layers of infor- mation are superimposed over multiple copies of the bubble diagram. To make the zoning diagrams, we graphically sort the spaces into different groupings based upon various sorting criteria that we select. For example, we may sort the spaces into the noisy ones and quiet ones, into the clean ones and dirty ones or the public ones and private ones. Each time we sort the spaces using a different sorting criterion, we make a separate zoning diagram. 1 THE MATRIX DIAGRAM OVERVIEW The first of the three diagrams of space adjacency analysis that we will discuss is the matrix. In the version of space adja- ‘cency analysis presented in this book, the completed matrix provides the infor- mation needed to produce the bubble and zoning diagrams and so we must draw the matrix first. The concept of the matrix is a very simple one. The diagram Is a two- dimensional grid used to make deci- sions, with our client, about the space to space relationships that must be achieved in the building that we are about to design. Where the names of {two different buliding spaces intersect in the matrix grid, we note the par- ticular relationship required between those two spaces. Decisions are made in this manner for all the spaces that will be contained in the new building 0 that, when the matrix is complete, we understand how the building ‘spaces must be positioned in the new facility to permit the client’s operation to function in an efficient manner. alti 2
