OFFICES (ay" [UTIUITYMECHANICAL In this post I will show you first how to read an adjacency matrix, and then will share a few tools and templates you can use to create your own, ‘The programming phase of your project is complete! Lists have been made of required spaces, questions have been asked, preliminary concepts approved, and now you sit with a blank building footprint, trying to draw the first wall. Moving from programming to schematic design is difficult. It’s about taking abstract concepts and requirements from your client and shaping them into a usable preliminary plan. Luckily, tools exist to help bridge the gap between program and plan. One of these tools is called The Adjacency Matrix. In this case we use the word ‘adjacent’ to mean: “lying near, close, or contiguous; adjoining; neighboring,” In simple terms, to be adjacent is to be near to something. In interior design an adjacency matrix is a table that shows what spaces should and should not be near to each other on plan. Spending the time to draw this matrix means that you no longer have to leaf through your program every time you can’t remember if the client wants the Board Room close to the Break Room. If done correctly, all of that information is right at your fingertips. In my experience, the adjacency matrix is not particularly useful as a space planning tool, but is useful as a reference. You use it to easily make sure you are giving the client what they want when you move on to space planning via bubble diagrams and block diagrams, Reading an Adjacency Matrix. Google search “Interior Design Adjacency Matrix” and you will find tables so complex you will shudder at the thought of creating on yourself. For example, this matrix from my undergraduate capstone project at the University of Wisconsin Stevens Point has a lot of good information, but can be an intimidating place to start.
