 SPATIAL ORGANIZATION
CENTRALIZED
Consists of a number of secondary
LINEAR spaces grouped around a dominant,
RADIAL central space that is generally
regular in form and large enough to
CLUSTERED gather a number of secondary spaces
GRID about its perimeter.

 SPATIAL ORGANIZATION
CENTRALIZED
Consists of a series of spaces that
LINEAR
can either be directly related to
RADIAL one another or be linked through a
CLUSTERED separate and distinct linear space.

 SPATIAL ORGANIZATION
CENTRALIZED
Consists of a series of spaces that
LINEAR
can either be directly related to
RADIAL one another or be linked through a
CLUSTERED separate and distinct linear space.

GRID Usually consists of repetitive

spaces which are alike in size,
form, and function.
May also consist of a single linear
space that organizes along its
length a series of spaces that
differ in size, form or function.

 PRINCIPLES OF COMPOSITION
AXIS Implies that in the most, if not all,
HIERARCHY architectural composition, real
difference exist among forms and
DATUM spaces that reflects their degree of
importance as well as the
RHYTHM functional, formal and symbolic role
they play in the organization.
