It is worth mentioning that this stage is a process encompassed that no step can be skipped. As already mentioned, the architectural program is the one that starts everything and, subsequently, the Relationship diagram in architecture will spatially distribute the program. Once the connections have been established, the operating diagram will begin to outline how to connect the spaces or through what means will, whether doors, windows, openings, horizontal or vertical circulations, to finally reach the process of zoning the spaces.
How to make a relationship diagram in step -by -step architecture?
Once the theoretical part of the Relationship Diagram in Architecture is understood, it is time to go to action. To be able to diagram based on a program, the example of the simple house will be brought again, whose spaces were: Garagedining room, living room, kitchen, bathroom, bedroom and patio. For the connections by hierarchy the traffic light to be used will be: in red the indispensable connection, in orange the strong, yellow connection for the weak connection and dotted line for the optional connection. The first will be to draw each space as a unit locked in a circle without any particular order, similar to a mental map. Subsequently, it will be necessary to study which spaces should maintain contiguity and with what degree, according to the traffic light. For example, a red line will link the dining room with the kitchen, and the room with the dining room; Another line, now in orange, will connect to the bedroom with the bathroom, the patio with the room and the bedroom, and the Garage With the kitchen; In yellow, a segment will intertwine the kitchen with the bedroom, as it is a very little necessary connection, and finally, a discontinuous line will join the Garage With the patio, it is a minimally useful relationship that will not affect the functionality of the project.
As for relationships by type, it is necessary to create its specific symbology. For the physical connection it is not necessary to make a nomenclature, since it is already established in the relationships by hierarchy. As for visual, olfactory and auditory connections, an eye, a nose and an ear are a more than plausible option. Between the dining room and the kitchen there is a visual and olfactory connection; Between the bedroom and the room, an auditory; Between the patio and the room, the bedroom and the dining room, it would be nice to have visual, olfactory and auditory connections. There is nothing established, Everything is related according to each user and the sensations you want to achieve for their project.
And with this, you are ready to be able to make a relationship diagram in architecture!
