Parti diagrams

Parti diagrams

More complex in meaning than Poche', Parti diagrams can be used for different purposes.
  • They can be a medium for an Architect to communicate his intentions for a building, in this case multiple ideas can be incorporated into the one sketch.
  • A Parti diagram can analyze one specific aspect of a building eg. Geometry, structure, circulation etc.
  • Different mediums can be used, the diagrams can be coloured or black and white.
  • For the purpose of this project our diagrams intended to show the fundamental organization of the building studied.

combines plan and section. Red is used
for living and circulation space and blue
for the central chimney.

I didn't grasp the concept for these drawings straight away, so rather than discard them completely here are some of my early attempts at revealing the house that Roberto Venturi designed for his mother.

Geometry


Circulation

Enclosure
