The document presents an overview of grid organization, describing it as a structure formed by intersecting parallel lines that regulates the position and relationship of forms and space. It outlines the benefits of grid organizations, such as improved alignment, consistency, and visual appeal, along with disadvantages like potential conflict points at intersections. Examples include the grid layouts of ancient cities like Miletus and Timgad, illustrating the application of grid systems in urban planning.

▧ A grid organization consist of forms and space whose position in
space and relationships with each other are regulated by a 3-D
grid pattern at field.
▧ The organizing power of a grid results from the regularity and
continuity of its pattern.

7. What are
ADVANTAGES
and
DISADVANTAGES OF
Grid Organization?

8. ADVANTAGES Of GRID ORGANIZATION
❑ GRID HAS MORE ORGANISING POWER.
❑ A GRID CAN ADD BETTER ALIGNMENT, BALANCE, AND
EQUALITY IN SPACING FOR A MUCH BETTER VISUAL
EXPERIENCE.
❑ A GRID CAN UNDERGO TRANSFORMATIONS.
❑ IT BRINGS SOME ORDER TO A LAYOUT.
❑ IT LEADS TO CONSISTENCY IN THE LAYOUT.
❑ GRIDS LEAD TO RHYTHM AND STRUCTURAL HIERARCHY.

9. DISADVANTAGES of GRID ORGANIZATION
❑ THE MORE NO OF INTERSECTIONS
CAN BE THE CONFLICT POINT.

of the grid plan,
comprises houses on
blocks created by streets
and side streets crossing
at right angles, with
public buildings in the

▧ Founded Emperor Trajan
▧ Defense against Berbers
▧ Timgad follows the guidelines Roman town
planning, a remarkable grid system.
▧ It has an orthogonal street design based on
the cardo (north–south-oriented street) and
decumanus maximus (east-west-oriented
street).
