Like mentioned in the previous post, the final 'clean' bubble diagram is a result of reworking and iterations. What if an architect had an interactive bubble diagram, in which he/she could create the bubbles (circles) with approximate areas and apply the adjacency logic. The bubble diagram algorithm aims to create an interactive bubble diagram.

What is a bubble diagram ?
The bubble diagram is the first ‘diagram’
drawn by the architect to figure out the adjacency of the spaces in a building.
As the name implies, a bubble diagram
is essentially bubbles/circles representing the spaces with or without a line
connecting these components to display the connection as well as the adjacency
of the spaces.
Depending on the complexity of the
program in a building, you may have to draw a bubble diagram several times to reach
a satisfactory ‘clean’ diagram.
Below is an example of a bubble
diagram of a public library.

Another example of a bubble diagram is shown below. This bubble diagram is for an educational institution. Notice how each bubble also represents the approximate size of the space along with the space adjacency.
