zoning + circulation

Freehand diagrammatic drawings will show conceptual space planning, relationships between the various areas, primary entrances, circulation patterns and views that can be seen from the interior.

with almost EVERYTHING being done on the computers or with the aid of sort of technology we get so caught up in perfectly drawn circles and neat graphic diagrams we forget to pick up a pencil (well in my case a 0.2 fine liner) and just let the natural creative juices flow.

i love a good hand sketch and with being so caught up in technology I stepped away from my desk and sat on my floor (yes i prefer to sketch sitting on the floor ) doing a VERY last minute to do a 15 min sketch of my zoning and circulation diagrams for the conceptual design process.

" just let the natural creative juices flow"

i really enjoyed the process and simplicity of pen and paper and i will most certainly be doing a lot more and incorporating them into my conceptual design process
