He also sketches out a bubble diagram to illustrate the spatial and functional relationships as well as the structural grid.

The process that we go through is to follow the zoning as best we can, understand the building codes as best we can, and when we have some ideas that we need to have reviewed, we will go to the building department and review those ideas to make sure we're in compliance before we go too far down the road.
