PART C: DESIGN PLANNING

Planning Diagrams

Shown below are the first planning stages of the proposed cabin design.  The first step was to analyse  the realtionships between the spaces, and what relationships were crucial for a functionable design. To achieve this, a matrix was used, which is shown below.

With these crucial and desirable relationships shown, rough bubble diagrams were then produced to get an understanding of how the spaces would interact, and also what spaces were definately needed in the cabin, and which ones could be joined to create a single space. The first bubble diagram produced is shown below, and displays the original restrictions of the design and the ideas generated of how to overcome these restrictions.

From this diagram, scale bubble diagrams were then produced that showed these spaces with the desired area of each. These diagrams slowly produced ideas the generated the original floor plans. These are shown below.

From these bubble diagrams, three original experimentation floorplans were drawn up, which are shown below.
