When designing, it is important to know your space by adapting spacial awareness. The word that has been chosen to design my space was bubble... so I felt that it was only right to use a bubble diagram to allocate the categories of the space.
The purpose of these diagrams is to help differentiate between public and private, indicate paths of circulation and zones of personal space. These spaces are extremely small but as this weeks reading states... all activities within a building are important. And these have helped me to focus and design of the navigation and regions of these tiny bubbles of space.
In every building the categories can take on a different meaning or use.
Places: can be composed of several spaces as long as it hangs together as a whole. They can be considered as paths, destinations or side trips, depending on the building and its use. These places can fall under the areas of a bathroom, kitchens or even a building as a whole.
Gateways: is a clearly defined point of entry. People arrive and depart through door ways and commonly in the form of residential buildings... guests perform the activity of waiting before they are invited in.
Domains: are regions or areas that you inhabit long periods of time in but they are not always final destinations. They can often be considered as side trips, secondary activities or even path ways. A domain could be a kitchen, a living area or a bedroom depending on the person or the home and its uses.
