SPACE ORGANIZATION

CLUSTERED ORGANIZATION

A clustered organization relies on physical proximity to relate its spaces one

another. It often consists of repetition, cellular spaces that have similar functions

and share a common visual trait such as shape or orientation. The clustered

organization often consists of either: repetitive spaces, spaces that share a
common shape, spaces that share a common orientation and spaces that relate

to one another by proximity or through an axis. Clustered spaces can be

organized about a point of entry, along a path of movement and about a large
defined field of space. The form of a clustered organization is flexible and can

accept growth and change readily without affecting its character. The

importance of a space in this organization can be achieved by changing its size,
form, or orientation within the pattern. Portions of a clustered organization can

be strengthened by symmetry or axial condition.
