 SPATIAL ORGANIZATION
CENTRALIZED
Consists of a number of secondary

spaces grouped around a dominant,
RADIAL central space that is generally
CLUSTERED regular in form and large enough to
gather a number of secondary
GRID
spaces about its perimeter.

either be directly related to one

GRID Usually consists of repetitive spaces
which are alike in size, form, and
function.
May also consist of a single linear
space that organizes along its length
a series of spaces that differ in size,
form or function.
