ABSTRACT
Some diagrams describe the form of architecture, either abstractly or directly, by emphasizing a building's figural characteristics. These diagrams explain the geometric qualities of a building, showing how the architect composed the building's figures, openings and thresholds. 'Form diagrams' are useful for helping in understanding geometric and spatial relationships between building components. Diagramming the process of generating architecture, versus unearthing the relationships between elements, positions the diagram as a tool for formal decision making. These diagrams offer insight into how the architect has made decisions about a building's form. Sometimes esotericother times more straight forward, 'step-by-step diagram' make it is easy to read the architect's form-making process. Organizing logistics can impact architecture's form. The technical details that guide flows and operations can have immense bearing on how architecture is formed and developed. Diagramming a project's information has increasing agency, especially in public buildings, institutions and landscapes.
