Chapter 4: Organization

Spatial Relationships:

Space within a space:
When a volume can be occupied within another bigger volume. The smaller does not seem isolated or awkward in the new space; rather, it reinforces the development of continuity relationship between two spaces.

The glass room separates the exhibited pieces to the rest of the galleries, preventing viewers from touching the merchandise, but the transparent space still allows viewers to emerge into the pieces.

Interlocking space:
Two or more spatial fields overlap and emerge, creating a shared space. Each space still retains its identity, and also defines a new configuration.

The interlocking volume provides more spaces and integrity to the composition. Plus, adding uniqueness.

Adjacent space:
Two or more spaces are both separated and bind together. The separation maybe caused by a plane, a change in size or dimension, and other design elements to make the adjacent spaces distinct.

The columns divide the one space into two adjacent space, giving the impression of a big space into two pathways people can go through, yet not being disrupted in the one space.

Space linked by a common space:

When two separated spaces share a common factor of another space. The relationship between these two spaces relies on the nature of the third linked space.

The hallway separates the two opposite room but still remains the continuity of the two spaces.

Spatial Organizations:

Centralized:
Central and dominant space that is surrounded by other secondary elements. This creates a stable, unified, and concentrated composition.

Linear:

A linear sequence, row or column, of relative spaces. The series of spaces create repetition and rhythm to the sequence.

Radial:
A central space that has linear organizations surrounded and placed in the radial manner. This contains both centralized and linear effects, providing an introverted or extroverted plan depending on the designer.

Clustered:
Many spaces with different elements or characteristics that are grouped together based on a common visual relationship or composition. The repetition of similar functions create a shared visual trait that can be articulated depending on the contained elements.

Grid:
Spaces structured in a gird, rows and columns together. The repetition and rhythm of parallel and perpendicular spaces strengthen the regularity and continuity of the organization.

The grid box ceilings and also cupboard walls bring the room into a contemporary dimension. The repetition throughout the planes give more space for the decoration and an impressive intimidation.
