Proccess Work

Here are a few of the diagrams for the space planning portion of the Landor Office Project. I started off with relationship diagrams. I started this diagram below by looking at the main adjacency requirements in the program. Reading through the program the first thing I noticed was that the Executive Director needed to be directly adjacent to the Client Services Director, the Creative Services Director, the Finance Director and the Production Manager. After reading through the rest of the program I decided on where to put the rest of the team memebers  based of off the original five adjacencies and who would be working with those managers and directors.  

From the relationship diagram I moved onto some bubble diagram layouts. Again I started with the first five important adjacencies. I decided to put these executives and managers in the mezzanine level of the office space. This was so they would all be adjacent with each other as well as  be able to look over, and have reasonable access to  their team members on the level below.

 After figuring out the mezzanine level I began working on bubble diagrams for the lower level. The sketch below shows a block diagram of the main floor of the office space. The blocks represent the departments I was most sure about placing in the space.

The last space I began planning was my wellness space. After I decided I wanted my wellness space to be a tea bar I had a pretty good idea about how I wanted to lay it out so I drew a quick bubble diagram to give myself an idea of how the layout would work on paper.

I also made an elevation sketch of an idea I had for what I want the bar in my tea bar to look like.

These diagrams and sketches were a big help when I began laying out my project in AutoCad. Although they needed a few adjustments for the most part my layouts worked well in the spaces I decided to place them.
