As a beginning design student; you need to learn to think like a designer; to visualize ideas and concepts; as well as objects. In Diagramming the Big Idea; Jeffrey Balmer and Michael T. Swisher illustrate how you can create and use diagrams to clarify your understanding of both particular projects and organizing principles and ideas. With accessible; step-by-step exercises that interweave diagrams; drawings and virtual models; the authors clearly show you how to compose meaningful and useful diagrams. As you follow the development of the four project groups drawn from the authorsrsquo; teaching; you will become familiar with architectural composition concepts such as proportion; site; form; hierarchy and spatial construction. In addition; description and demonstration essays extend concepts to show you more examples of the methods used in the projects. Whether preparing for a desk critique; or any time when a fundamental insight can help to resolve a design problem; this book is your essential studio resource.
