(1) Spatial organization

- Based on organizational pr ciples

Through organizational principles, mainly different

types of organizations portray different spatial
relationships from one to another and to the
exterior environment as well as contextual
responses. It also structures the path of circulation
unique to each organization.

- Centralized Organization

it is a concentrated composition where mostly

the main area in an office is centrally organized and
other ancillary spaces are planned on its perimeter.
This leads to either radial, loop or spiral circulation
movement in a centralized organization. It increases
the connectivity and proximity of the central space
with the ancillaly spaces, encouraging interactions.

- Linear Organization

It consists of a series of spaces, directly or

indirectly related to each other linked along an
axis. The importance of spaces can be highlighted
by change in size, and its location. This mostly leads
to linear movement within the enclosures created by
the spaces or on the periphery. It emphasizes the
individuality and discourages interaction.

- Radial Organization

it consists of a central space from which linear

organizations extend radially. It is an extrovert plan
which spreads across spaces and connects them.
It results in linear as well as rotational movement
around central space. This encourages interaction
while connecting ancillary spaces to central space as
well as gives the required autonomy for focus work.

- Clustered Organization

It is based on physical proximity with spaces. It

consists of either repetitive or distinct units clustered
together linked by a function orvisual traits. Clusters
can be repe e spaces, organized by an axis,
contained Within a space, a loop path or grouped
along a path. it encourages internal discussions
as well as keeps spaces bonded. The movement is
oriented based on the typology of clusters.

- Grid Organization

it consists of modular units repetitive in nature which

follow a certain pattern. Based on the correlations
established, the ancillary spaces can cluster around
the primary spaces or vice versa. The adjacency and
proximity of units establish the relationships. In
this type of organization, individuality of spaces is
maintained and it is mostly used for autonomous
work where only the established relationships can
be planned in the nearest proximity for interaction.
