CLUSTER

v» Cluster Is Basically A COMPOSITION OF A DIFFRENT FORMS.
(#FIGURE 2)

ve It Is Generally A COMBINATION or Either SIMILAR or DIS-SIMILAR
FIGURES ARRANGED in Either REGULAR OR IRREGULAR =
GROUPINGS,

+ A Clusteres Organization RELIES on PHYSICAL PROXIMITY TO RELATE
its SPACES TO ONE ANOTHER. (#FIGURE 1)

+ lts Often Consists Of REPETITIVE, CELLULAR SPACES That have SIMILAR
FUNCTIONS and SHARE COMMON SPACES Like CORTYARDS, GARDENS,
LOUNGE Etc. (#FIGURE 1)

16. TYPES OF CLUSTER

Y SIMILAR FIGURES

” SIMILAR FIGURES MAY BE IDENTICAL,
BUT THEY MAY ALSO BE VARIATIONS
OF A FIGURE RELATED BY GEOMETRY
PROPORTION, HIERARCHY AND
ORIENTATION.

, WE CAN FIND THE PATTERN
IN THE
THREE DIMENSIONAL
VOLUMES
OF BUILDINGS AS WELL.

"THE SIMILAR FIGURES MAY BE A
COMPOSITIONS OF CUBES; THE
REPETITION OF A SINGLE FIGURE AND
SIMPLE

A CORNER BAR IN A SMALL LOW
TOWN IS A ROW OF BUILDINGS

BUILT SUCCESSIVELY, ALL OF THE
SAME GEOMETRY AND PROPORTIONS
BUT DIFFERING IN SIZE.

OF A GROUP OF FIGURES IN WHICH
NO TWO ARE ALIKE OR EVEN
SIMILAR.TO UNITE THEM ,DESIGNERS

TECHNIQUES.

ONE FIGURE MAY BE ASSIGNED

A DOMINANT ROLE AND ALL

OTHERS EITHER PHYSICALLY FIGURE 2
