Centralized. Coming into a focal point of highest significance. This a balanced form, but static. There are created as square,
round, hexagonal or oval spaces where the center point is easy to identify. Elements around the center must emphasize the focal
point.
Linear Sequential arrangement of often similarly sized elements. Linear organizations have a direction. Corridors often create
linear arrangement, and defining it helps identify a linear element within a building.
Radial. Starting from a point and projecting outwards, where the outward direction is of greater significance.
Combines central and radial arrangements.
Grid : Elements are arranged in a modular fashion a long a 3D Grid. Things that break off from the grid are of more importance. Things that
take up more than one modular volume are of greater significance.
Clustered : Elements grouped by proximity or a common characteristic.
Lecture 1 - Reflection
Assignment :
In class:
Using Diagrams Identify The different organization methods in your Design III Project.
How can you enhance the organizational style? Reflect and implement.
Home Work:
Provide an example of an urban, architectural and interior space that reflect the differ-
ent organizational styles.

Lecture 2 -
Assignment :
In class:
Using diagrams, colors and/or Hatch styles identify the different form defining elements and any
ordering methods that you have used in your facades, landscape and 3D Mass of your Design III
Project.
Are there are any elements that can or should be strengthened?

Are there any elements that should be eliminated? Reflect and apply on your design.
Homework :
Using these illustrations, create study diagrams for your facade and 3D Design Approach. Include
in your final Poster and INT 203-A Semester Report.

Form, Space and Order : Space and Form
Architecture is defined by the intersection of solid and void. These are inherently opposite things, but together they form the physical and visual experience
of buildings.
Space allows us to move, perceive volumes, experience visual, textural and audible sensations related to architecture. It is as physical as a material finish,
even when it is intangible. As form begins to be captures, sculpted, enclosed, and organized by the elements of mass, architecture comes into existence.
Lecture 3 -
Describe the geometries that were used to define these forms. What solid forms can you see? What Void
Forms where used to create them? Sketch the void forms.
Using sketches, illustrate the Void Volumes that are defining the interior sections and architectural mass of
your Design III Project. How can these forms be enhanced to improve the articulation of the space?
On your floor plans, identify the spatial relationships of the different functions in your project.
INTA 203-A Final Research
In a report, research and illustrate the minimum dimensions of the

following building elements according to municipality building codes
for Commercial Spaces:
-Corridors,
-Rooms, O
-offices,
- Shops, Showroom and exhibition Spaces,
-Kitchens,
-Bathrooms,
-Parking Spaces,
-Entrance Doors,
-Bathroom Doors, -
Stairs,
-Electric lifts,
-Minimum and Maximum heights of commercial buildings and
Mezzanine floors.
Reflect how these are implemented in your Design III Project by

Annotating a clear dimension on the section and floor plan of your
buildings.
