Organization....

Buildings are organized into a succession of spaces that are related to one another by proximity, function, visual traits and movement. Organization of form and space can be determined by spatial relationship and spatial organization. This spells out the way spaces in a building can be laid out into coherent patterns and forms.

Space within a Space: A spatial relationship in which a space is determined by a volume or solid within another volume or solid.  These two spaces usually serve two separate functions. 


Adjacent Spaces: Another type of spatial relationship, where two spaces directly next to each other share a connecting plane.  A solid plane or a row of columns or change in texture that implies a plane may create this plane.  The plane both separates and binds the two spaces.


Centralized Organization: This type of spatial organization has a central, dominate space that may have one to many secondary spaces.  This creates a stable and concentrated feel as the central object acts as a unifying agent. 


Clustered Organization: Another type of spatial organization in which spaces are grouped by proximity or the distribution of a common trait or association.  May be related by shape, color or texture.



Grid Organization:  A type of spatial organization in which spaces are organized within a grid.  The grid creates a set of repetitive, modular units of space.
