Lecture 2 - Organization of form and space
This document discusses the key concepts of form, space, and their organization in architecture. It defines space as the three-dimensional area where matter exists. Architectural space is any space divided by walls and enclosed by a roof. Spatial relationships like adjacent, interlocking, and linked spaces are important for organizing forms. Common spatial organizations include centralized, linear, radial, clustered, and grid patterns. The three pillars of architecture that define a structure are its defining structure, functional program, and aesthetic design. Structural design must consider loading, serviceability, and limits, while aesthetics aim to balance creativity with avoiding incongruous designs.

- 4. 1.1 Space - Setthings apart: to set things some distance apart or arrange them with gaps between - Interval of time: a period or interval of time - Area set apart: an area set apart or available for use - Three-dimensional expanse where matter exists: the unbounded three-dimensional expanse in which all matter exists - PRINTING blank area between type: a blank area between characters, words, or lines of type, or an interval the width of a single character
- 5. Architectural space - SPACE:the dimensions of height, depth, and width within which all things exist and move. - Any space which has been carved or divided by means of walls , enclosed by means of a roof or let semi open by a pergola, made aesthetically appealing by using colors , material and geometry , made to evoke various feelings in a human is an architectural space.

- 7. 1.2 Spatial Relationshipsof space Organization of spaces in architecture is fundamental to the creation of composition. It brings together different forms and shapes and provides a cohesive structure to the design. Spaces in a building can be organized into patterns so that they relate to one another in a specific way. Spatial relationships between forms help define their interaction. Some common spatial relations used in architecture include: - Space within a Spaces - Interlocking Spaces - Adjacent Spaces - Spaces Linked by Common Spaces
- 8. 1.2 Cont. An overallexample:
- 9. Space within Space :occurs when a small space sits within the volume of a larger space so that it is perceived as an object in that space. The smaller space could be likened to a sculptural object placed in a gallery.
- 10. Interlocking Spaces : occursas a result from the over lapping of two volumes and the resultant area of shares spaces. When two spaces interlock their volumes this way, each maintains its identity as a space.
- 11. Adjacent Spaces The mostcommon and straightforward relationship two spaces can have is as adjacent spaces. Here the spaces are located next to each other but remain distinct, allowing separate activities to take place in each one.
- 12. Spaces Linked byCommon Space To create a relationship where we have spaces linked by a common space, two or more spaces are connected to one another by an additional intermediate space that is shared by all the spaces it serves.
- 13. 1.3 Spatial Organization :basic ways we can arrange and organize the spaces of a building. The manner in which these spaces are arranged can clarify their relative importance and functional or symbolic role in the organization of a building. Each type of spatial organization is introduced by a section that discusses the formal characteristics, spatial relationships and contextual responses of the category.

- 14. Centralized organization - Acentral, dominant space about which a number of secondary spaces are grouped. - A centralized organization is a stable, concentrated composition that consists of a number of secondary spaces grouped around a large, dominant, central space.
- 15. Linear Organization - Alinear sequence of repetitive spaces. - A linear organization usually consists of repetitive spaces which are alike in size, form and function. It may also consist of a single linear space that organizes along its length a series of spaces that differ in size, form or function. In both cases, each space along the sequence has an exterior exposure.
- 16. Radial Organization - Acentral space from which linear organizations of space extend in a radial manner.
- 17. Clustered Organization - Spacesgrouped by proximity or the sharing of a common visual trait or relationship. - This pattern is similar to that of a centralized organization, but it lacks the latter’s compactness and geometrical regularity.
- 18. Grid Organization - Spacesorganized within the field of a structural grid or other three-dimensional framework. - A grid is created by two, usually perpendicular, sets of parallel lines which establish a regular pattern of points at their intersections. Projected into the third dimension, the grid pattern is transformed into a set of repetitive, modular units of space.

Maximizing Aesthetics ofbuilding - Emphasize Human Scale • Include Major Building Design Features • Structural Lines Retained at Storefront Level • Awnings and Canopies • Massing • Give dominance to respected spaces • Accessory Facilities - Avoiding Monotony of Design - Harmony of Design • Building colour shades • Building Materials • Unify Individual Storefronts • Varying Architectural Styles
