001 Module ART102 SpatialSystem-part-2

The document discusses spatial systems, which organize and arrange spaces in built environments, focusing on relationships, functions, and movement patterns. It highlights key elements such as form, scale, proportion, circulation, and hierarchy, and introduces bubble diagrams as a tool for visualizing spatial relationships. Additionally, it explores the distinction between physical and perceptual spaces, emphasizing how design influences user experience.

SPATIAL SYSTEM
LESSON - 02

SPATIAL SYSTEM
• Spatial system refers to the organization and
arrangement of spaces within a built environment,
considering their relationships, functions, and
movement patterns.
• It involves structuring physical and perceptual
space through elements like form, scale,
proportion, circulation, and hierarchy.

SPATIAL SYSTEM
•A spatial system dictates how spaces
interact, whether through open, semi-open,
or enclosed configurations, and influences
user experience, accessibility, and spatial
flow.

BUBBLE DIAGRAM IN SPATIAL SYSTEM


• A bubble diagram is a conceptual tool used in architectural design to visually
represent the relationships between spaces within a spatial system.
• It helps architects and designers explore spatial organization, circulation,
and functional relationships before developing a detailed floor plan or
architectural layout.

SPATIAL SYSTEM

PHYSICAL SPACE PERCEPTUAL SPACE


• The measurable, tangible area in a • How humans experience space
building based on design
• (e.g., walls, rooms, corridors). • (e.g., openness, intimacy,
movement flow).

KEY ELEMENTS OF SPATIAL STRUCTURING


1. Form
• The shape and configuration of a space or building.
• Example: A circular room feels different from a rectangular one.
2. Scale
• The relative size of a space compared to human proportions.
• Example: A cathedral feels grand due to its large scale, while a café feels cozy due to its small
scale.
3. Proportion
• The relationship between dimensions (height, width, depth).
• Example: Classical architecture (e.g., Greek temples) follows proportions like the Golden
Ratio to create harmony.

KEY ELEMENTS OF SPATIAL STRUCTURING


4. Circulation
• How people move through and interact with spaces.
• Example: Hallways, staircases, and open-plan layouts influence movement flow.
5. Hierarchy
• The organization of spaces based on importance.
• Example: A main hall in a museum is larger and more emphasized than side galleries.
