key challenge of good design is spatial organization as a result of functional requirements. The authors present a new NetLogo application that assists designers in understanding proposed functional relationships (of spaces) by visualizing them graphically. In more detail, the tool translates adjacency matrices (as representation of functional relationships) into a graph (in architecture known as bubble diagram). The latter can be considered as a pre-step of the actual design, by which the information about functional interrelations becomes more readable and understandable for the designer . Keywords: Adjacency, Bubble Diagram, NetLogo, Visual Representation MOTIVATION Design thinking means understanding the design problem. In that context, the designer has to deal with project issues (site, climate, energy, behavioral aspects, costs, regulations and so forth) and their interrelationships. Certain tools are available to analyze and solve those project issues, and every individual tool tries to determine the form in its own way (think e.g.
