CHAPTER 4

ORGANIZATION

Space within a Space

Space within space means a small space enveloped and contained by the large space. The contained space may be different from the surrounding space to provide different functions. This image below has only one panel beside the tree and has an empty space of over head plane. Therefore, it feels of space within a space.

Interlocking Spaces

Interlocking Spaces begin when two spaces are sharing the overlapping area. However, the interlocking space still maintains both original identities. This image below has two different materials and color of the stove and the counter island. It overlaps each other at the corner to make it feel interlocking space.

Radial Organization

A radial organization is made from combining centralized organization that dominates at the central space and linear organization that extends in the radial way. Even though the centralized organization focuses inward on its central space, the radial organization reaches out its context. This image below is an aerial view from Google Earth. It is a radial organization because there is linear and centralized organization that combines together on this image.

Grid Organization

A grid organization is composed of forms and space that are designed in a three-dimensional grid pattern. A grid is built from two sets of parallel lines which create a regular shape at their intersection. This image below is an example of grid organization. The grid which we see it likes cube table that transformed into a set of repetitive, modular units of space.
