Basic Architectural Design & Building Construction: ARC N110 / Lecture 7

This document summarizes key points from Lecture 7 of the Basic Architectural Design course ARC N110 at Cairo University Faculty of Engineering. It discusses principles of architectural space design including space function, activity patterns, boundaries, and circulation elements. It also covers the importance of grids in the design process, different types of grids (rectilinear, curvilinear, simple, complicated), and structural grids including single layer, double layer, barrel vaults, domes, and hyper-grid systems. The lecture objectives are to identify principles of architectural space design and understand the importance of grids in the design process.
