Spatial Relationship

All around us there are spaces. Some may stand alone while others may be connected some how. Majority of the spaces we see in fact have a relationship with each other. These relationships that connects them may include: Space within a space, interlocking Spaces, adjacent spaces, and Space linked by a common space.

Space Within a Space

A Space that is contained within the existing volume of another space. These spaces are usually smaller than the space it is contained within. In the picture bellow there is a living room in the right of the “dominant space.”

Interlocking Space 

When two spaces are connected by overlapping each other. The interlocked space and be shared with the two original shapes equally or it can become a space of its own.

Space Linked by a Common Space

When two spaces have distance apart from each other but have an other space in-between them that connects them. This space may be a hallway.

Spatial Organization

Spaces can be organized in many different way. The way a space is organized gives it its own special feel and also is important to the function it was design to serve. Spaces can have centralized organization, linear organization, radial organization, clustered organization and grid organization.

Centralized Organization 

Centralized organization is just that, a space that is organized around the main focus which is placed within the center of the room of the things surrounding it.

Radial Organization

Radial Organization is when the space is organized in the form of a circle or oval. This type of organization may also include centralized organization.
