I think you need to add some captions and descriptive text. Although I am a big proponent of diagrams speaking for themselves, I am not sure what you are attempting to communicate here.
I think if you had one legend that used all the same colors for each space we could easily compare the relationship of spaces in all your precedent studies. I know that some of your buildings you have much more information, but it would be beneficial if we could compare the lobbies in all building and the adjacencies of other spaces such as a restaurant or gallery.
These are some very general comments based on what you have posted in this blog so far.
1. The buildings you have chosen to study are all very interesting - thank you for sharing these with us! 2. Presentation time and space are extremely valuable. Always make sure that all the information that you present is well organized and coherent so that it actually conveys the right information to your audience. In this respect, clarity, consistency, labels and explanatory text are a 'must' for your boards! 3. I think that if your above space organization diagrams were posted under the previous entries you made for each case then they would have been a lot easier for us to follow. After all, the reason for making them is to understand better each of these buildings. 4. In some cases it may be much easier (and a lot more fun) to sketch your own simple diagrams that will "tell the story". In other words, do not rely only on whatever material / images is available online. 5. The exercise that you are working on should make you think about how all these buildings function. So while you are studying these buildings, ask yourself lots of questions and think about your program thoroughly. From this you will hopefully be able to draw some valuable conclusions that will help you in your own design. 6. One think missing from this analysis so far is how your selected buildings relate to their context. Consider the relationship of these buildings (and your design) with their immediate surroundings as well as with the neighborhood they are in. 7. I am somewhat confused about your project site. Is this going to be in San Diego?
