Theory continued

Above is the plan for the thermal baths by Peter Zumthor, chosen as my precedent due to its emphasis on simple geometry and open circulation. The black solid line is primary circulation, with secondary circulation shown by the dotted line. Each area is also assigned either private, public or semi private, as specified by the legend bottom right.

I also attempted to complete a quick adjacency diagram, but only had time to do a small word based evaluation.
Adjacency Diagram


Lecture Theatre
Studio Spaces
Offices for Academic Staff
Offices for General Staff
Workshop
Computer Labs
Gallery
Research Space for Academic Staff
Meeting Rooms for Staff
Meeting Rooms for Students
Library
1     1-       Library, Meeting room for students, gallery
2     2-        Lecture theatre, studio, workshop, computer lab
3     3-       Offices academic, offices general, meeting room for staff , research space


Circulation between the three should have area (2) in the middle between the (3) and (4) as it is the area where staff and students most regularly meet. The rooms that can be the most isolated are the staff research spaces and general offices, the most accessible would be the lecture theatre and studio, as well as the library, as these are heavily frequented. 


 I attempted to translate the plan to a section and use this to create my rooms, but as you can see I did not simplify the plan enough before attempting to merge them, and the resulting rooms weren't usable.
