    Linear Organization

    - A linear organization consists of a series of spaces linked together in a line. The spaces can be directly connected or linked through a separate linear space. - Linear organizations usually have repetitive spaces of similar size/function, but may also have spaces that differ along the length. Important spaces can occur anywhere in the sequence. - Linear forms can respond flexibly to site conditions, taking straight, segmented, curved, or diagonal forms to organize or separate other forms in their context.

    LINEAR ORGANIZATION

    Ar. Divya Sharma


    Assistant Professor
    School of Architecture
     A linear organization consists essentially of a series of spaces.
    These spaces can either be directly related to one another

    These spaces can be linked through a separate and distinct linear space
    A linear organization usually consists of repetitive spaces which
    are alike in size, form, and function
    It may also consist of a single linear space that organizes along its
    length a series of spaces that differ in size, form, or function. In both
    cases, each space along the sequence has an exterior exposure
    Spaces that are functionally or symbolically important to the organization can occur
    anywhere along the linear sequence and have their importance articulated by their
    size and form
    Their significance can also be emphasized by their location:
    • at the end of the linear sequence
     Offset from the linear organization
     At pivotal points of a segmented linear form
    Because of their characteristic length, linear organizations express a direction and
    signify movement, extension, and growth. To limit their growth, linear organizations
    can be terminated by a dominant space or form, by an elaborate or articulated
    entrance, or by merging with another building form or the topography of its site .
    The form of a linear organization is inherently flexible and can
    respond readily to various conditions of its site. It can adapt to
    changes

     It can be straight
    Segmented Curvilinear
     Diagonally up a slope  Stand vertically as a Tower
    The form of a linear organization can relate to other
    forms in its context by:

     Linking and organizing them along its length


     Serving as a wall or barrier to separate them into different fields
     Surrounding and enclosing them within a field of space
    Curved and segmented forms of
    linear organizations enclose a
    field of exterior space on their
    concave sides and orient their
    spaces toward the centre of the
    field.
    On their convex sides, these
    forms appear to front space and
    exclude it from their fields.
