Exit Exam Flashcards
A horizontal plane laying as a figure on a contrasting background defines a simple field of space.
Base Plane
A horizontal plane elevated above the ground plane establishes vertical surfaces along its edges that reinforce the visual separation from the surrounding ground.
Elevated Base Plane
A horizontal plane depressed into the ground plane utilizes the vertical surfaces to the lowered area to define volume of a space.
Depressed Base Plane
A horizontal plane located overhead defines a volume of space between itself and the ground plane.
Overhead Plane
define the perpendicular edges of a volume of space.
Vertical linear elements
articulates the space on which it fronts.
single vertical plane
L-shaped configuration of vertical planes generates a field of space
from its corner outward along a diagonal axis.
L-shaped Plane
define a volume of space between them
that is oriented axially toward both open ends of the configuration.
Parallel Plane
configuration of vertical planes defines a volume of
space that is oriented primarily toward the open end of the configuration.
U-shaped Plane
establish the boundaries of an introverted space and influence the field of space around the enclosure.
Four vertical planes
An opening can be located wholly within a wall or ceiling plane and be surrounded on all sides by the surface of the plane.
Within Planes
An opening can be located along one edge or at a corner of a wall or
ceiling plane. In either case, the opening will be at a corner of a space.
At Corners
Types of within Planes:
Centered, Grouped, Off center, Deep Set, Skylight
Types of At Corners:
Along one edge, along two edges, turning a cover, grouped, skylight
An opening extend vertically between the floor and ceiling planes or horizontally between two wall planes. It can grow in size to occupy an entire wall of a space.
Between Planes
Types of Between Planes
Vertical, Horizontal, 3/4 Opening, Window-wall, Skylight
A space may be contained within the volume of a larger space.
Space within a Space
The field of a space may overlap the volume of another space.
Interlocking Spaces
Two spaces may abut each other or share a common border. Allows each space to be clearly defined and to respond.
Adjacent Spaces
The separating plane may:
- Appear as a freestanding plane in a single volume of space.
- Limit visual and physical access between two adjacent spaces
- Defined with row of columns that allows high degree of visual and spatial continuity between two spaces.
Linked by a Common Space Two spaces may rely on an intermediary space for their relationship.
Linked by a Common Space
is a stable, concentrated composition that
consists of a number of secondary spaces grouped around a large,
dominant, central space.
Centralized Organization
Consists essentially of a series of spaces. These spaces can either be directly related to one another or be linked through a separate and
distinct linear space.
Linear Organization
of space combines elements of both centralized and
linear organizations.
Radial Organization
