Spatial relationships are categorized into four different spatial arrangements: space within a space, interlocking spaces, adjacent spaces and spaces linked by a common space. Spatial relationships describes the arrangements and organizations of forms and spaces. Interlocking spaces is when a space or volume overlaps another space or volume. The image above is an example of interlocking spaces because one of the desks are overlapping the larger volume of desks. The second image shows the volumes that are being interlocked in that particular image. The pink shape shows the shape or volume that is being overlapped or interlocked into the larger volume, which is portrayed as the yellow shape. The third image is a diagram that shows the spatial relationship of interlocking spaces in a more literal sense. It shows how the two spaces or volumes are being interlocked. Spaces linked by a common space is when two spaces rely on another space in the middle of them. This space in the middle connects the two spaces on the ends. A hallway in an interior is a good example of this because the hallway connects the rooms and helps you to circulate between the rooms.
Adjacent spaces is a spatial relationship when two spaces share a common border. The rooms in a floor plan are normally a good example of adjacent spaces because the rooms are usually arranged side by side or one on top of the other. The image above is also an example of adjacent spaces. The second image shows how the boxes in the image represent adjacent spaces. The third image is a diagram that shows adjacent spaces and how the different boxes portrays this. It shows adjacent spaces in a more literal manner and how the boxes share a common border with one another.
Space within a space is a spatial relationship when a space or volume is contained within a larger space or volume. An example of this is furniture in a room because the furniture is the smaller spaces or volumes that are within the larger space, which is the room. The image above is also a good example of space within a space. The second image shows how the curvilinear space is set inside the larger, rectangular space. The third image is a diagram that shows the space within a space relationship that the first image displays.
Spatial organizations are categorized into five different arrangements: centralized organization, linear organization, radial organization, clustered organization and grid organization. Spatial organizations just simply state the organization or arrangement of forms and spaces. Centralized organization is when a central or dominant space is surrounded by several, grouped spaces. Linear organization is a linear sequence of repetitive spaces and lines. The image above is an example of linear organization because the parallel, repetitive lines are arranged to create a linear layout of negative spaces. The second image shows the parallel lines that helps to create the linear organization of spaces. The yellow shapes show the spaces that are being created in the linear organization. The third image is a diagram that shows the relationship of linear organization is a more literal sense by showing the linear lines and shapes and the overall linear organization that they create. Radial organization is when a central space or form has linear organizations of space or volume extend from it in a radial manner. Clustered organization is when volumes are grouped in an overlapping pattern. These volumes usually share a common visual trait or relationship.
Grid organization is when spaces are organized within a structural grid or other three-dimensional composition. An example of grid organization is a checker or chess board. The image above is another good example of grid organization. The second image shows how grid organization is displayed in the first image. The third image is a diagram that shows the grid organization in a more literal manner. The pink lines shows how the parallel lines help create the grid organization and the yellow shapes show the spaces that the structural grid creates.
good job! Very detailed description and nice diagram, but i think u could choose a stronger picture for the interlocking diagram :)
ReplyDeleteYou have nice pictures and diagrams! nice joB!
