SPATIAL ORGANIZATION

** //Spacial Organization is the arrangement of different objects. Points, lines, volumes. Forms to describe space.//
 * Principles of designing a space **
 * //Pattern// (organizes through its presence, regularity and continuity)
 * //Repetition//: (reproduction of the elements according to the proximity and visual characteristics)
 * //Proportion// ( proper correspondence between things and sizes )
 * //Unity// (relationship between the individual parts and the whole composition)
 * //Dominance of Hierarchy //(relates to varying degrees of emphasis in design) (dominant, subdominant, subordinate)
 * //Positive// //and negative space// ( juxtaposition of figure and ground composition. Where objects in the space represent the positive spaces)
 * //Position// (location of an element or a group of elements in the space)
 * //Axis// (the basic element for the distribution of an space, can be an imaginary line of a big avenue)
 * //Symmetry// (balance distribution of a space, very related to an axis, where you have the same shape in both sides of the axis)
 * Basic Dispositions ** (choices that you can make when distributing a space) all of them can be good ways of organizing a space.

 (the first image about a city that comes to your mind associating it with a typical element)
 * //Radial// Organization: little parts of the city are dominated by a central space that is more important
 * //Grid// Organization: square shaped organization, grid shape organization, damero.
 * //Axial// organization: different areas of the city are distributed according to main axis.
 * //Organic// organization: doest follow and specific pattern, in these cities we cannot see a determined geometrical form. It is very common in cities that are trying to adjust to its topography.
 * Organizational Elements n the urban Context **

 Knowing about special organization is fundamental for architects and urban planners, because we have to know how to take advantage of a certain area when planning it.
 * //Paths//: Channels along which people move.
 * //Edge:// Border lines not considered paths, lateral references
 * //Districts//: medium to large sections of the city.
 * //Nodes:// strategic spots into which an observer can enter. A conglomeration of uses.
 * //Landmarks//: external visual points of reference for the observer. They cannot enter. For example: A monument, an sculpture.
