Diagramming Intentions in Architecture: The Diagram as an Analytical and Interpretive Tool Design Media and Exploration EVDS 541/ARST 451

Diagramming Intentions in Architecture The power of the diagram resides in its capacity to distill complexity into a singular, privileged view and representation. This distillation, a process involving abstracting and editing material until only the essential (and selected) idea remains, is the key to a successful diagram. The diagram is a graphic argument.

Diagramming Intentions in Architecture Because architects anticipate a future, diagramming is a means to graphically structure ideas that build the argument for the project’s constituent and overall design intentions. A series of diagrams communicate the design’s intentions: siting, programmatic, and conceptual strategies, leading to the final design product. The Constituent Parts > The Whole Design Media and Exploration EVDS 541/ARST 451

Diagramming Intentions in Architecture Equally important, diagramming can be used to deconstruct a precedent in order to explore and communicate its constituent design strategies and intentions. The Whole > its Constituent Parts Design Media and Exploration EVDS 541/ARST 451
