Design Tip #46: "Swap-a-Plan"

If you want to change things up a bit, try this old trick for new results: When a project calls for multiple concepts, begin with a simple floor plan study. Then switch plan concepts with another designer (assuming you are both working on the same design). Then develop their plan 3-dimensionally. Because everyone interprets shapes and traffic flow differently, your interpretation of their plan will generate a totally different solution, and will most likely take you in a direction you would have never gone on your own.
