Spatial Organization 2 S patial Organization refers to how elements are arranged and structured within a space, covering aspects such as building layouts, the distribution of populations, patterns of economic activities, and even the presentation of information.
Spatial Organization 3 Requirements for Spaces: Specific Functions / Specific Forms Flexible & Freely Manipulated Unique in Function or Significance Grouped into Clusters or Linear Sequences Require Exterior Exposure (Light, Ventilation, Outdoor Access) Segregated for Privacy Easily Accessible
Spatial Organization 4 Types of Spatial organization
Grid Organization 5 Grid Organization: A grid organization arranges forms and spaces by regulating their positions and relationships through a three-dimensional grid pattern or field . Creation of a Grid: Formed by two perpendicular sets of parallel lines . Establishes a regular pattern of points at their intersections. When extended into 3D, it becomes a system of repetitive, modular units of space . Organizing Power of a Grid: Provides regularity and continuity that connects all elements. Creates a stable set of reference points and lines in space. Allows spaces of different size, form, or function to share a common relationship .
Grid Organization 6 A dditive or subtractive Irregular in one or, multidirection Transformation
Grid Organization 7 Advantages Disadvantages 1. Grid has more organizing power. 1. Too many intersections can become conflict points. 2. Adds better alignment, balance, and equality in spacing. 3. Can undergo transformations. 4. Brings order to a layout. 5. Leads to consistency in the layout. 6. Leads to rhythm and structural hierarchy.
