O R G ANIZATIO N O F FO RM A N D SPA C E

The last chapter laid out how various configurations of form could be manipulated to define a solitary field or
volume of space, and how their patterns of solids and voids affected the visual qualities of the defined space.
Few buildings, however, consist of a solitary space. They are normally composed of a number of spaces which
are related to one another by function, proximity, or a path of movement. This chapter lays out for study and
discussion the basic ways the spaces of a building can be related to one another and organized into coherent
patterns of form and space.
