TOA 2 - Quiz 1

• Clustered


  This organization relies on physical proximity to relate its spaces to one another. It often consists of repetitive, cellular spaces that have similar functions and share a common visual trait such as shape or orientation.
• Interlocking spaces


  Spatial relationship results from the overlapping of two spatial fields and the emergence of a zone of shared space.
• Space within a space


  In this type of spatial relationship, the larger, enveloping space serves as a three-dimensional field for the smaller space contained within it.
• Space


  The three-dimensional field in which objects and events occur and have relative position and direction, especially a portion of that fieldset apart in each instance or for a particular purpose.
• Adjacent space


  The most common type of spatial relationship. It allows each space to be clearly defined and to respond, each in its own way, to specific functional or symbolic requirements.
• Linear


  This organization consists essentially of a series of spaces. These spaces can either be directly related to one another or be linked through a separate and distinct linear space.
• Grid


  This organization consists of forms and spaces whose positions in space and relationships with one another are regulated by a three-dimensional grid pattern or field.
• Theory of Architecture


  It sets the basic understanding of design before architects design a building into reality.
• Spaces linked by a common space


  Two spaces that are separated by distance can be linked or related to each other by a third, intermediate, space.
• Centralized


  This type of organization is a stable, concentrated composition that consists of several secondary spaces grouped around a large, dominant, central space.
• Radial


  This organization of space combines elements of both centralized and linear organizations. It consists of a dominant central space from which several linear organizations extend in a radial manner.
