There are 5 main ways to arrange and organize space: centralized, linear, radial, clustered, and grid. A centralized organization has a large central space with secondary spaces grouped around it. A linear organization consists of a series of directly related or repetitive spaces. A radial organization features spaces extending in a radial pattern from a central hub. A clustered organization groups similar spaces that share traits or a relationship. A grid organization positions spaces based on a three-dimensional grid pattern.

ORGANIZE SPACE

GRID

2. CENTRALIZED ORGANIZATIONS
 is a stable, concentrated composition that consists
of a number of secondary spaces grouped around a
large, dominant, central space.
 the central unifying space is generally regular in form
and large enough in size to gather a number of
secondary space about its form.
 the secondary spaces may be equivalent to one
another in function, form and size.
- may differ from one another in their form or
size.

3. LINEAR ORGANIZATION
 consist essentially of a series of spaces
 can either be directly related to one another
 consists of repetitive spaces that are alike in size,
form and function
 consist of a linear space that organizes along its
length a series of spaces that differ in sizes, form or
function
 can be straight, segmented or curvilinear

4. RADIAL ORGANIZATION
 a central space from which linear organizations of
space extend in a radial manner
 generally regular in form ( central space is called
hub)
 radiating arms can also differ from one another
 pinwheel pattern

5. CLUSTERED ORGANIZATION
 spaces grouped by proximity or the sharing of a
common visual trait ( shape or orientation) or
relationship
 consists of repetitive, cellular spaces that have
similar functions
 spaces that are dissimilar in size, form and
function but are related to one another
 can be contained within a defined field or volume
of space

6. GRID ORGANIZATIONS
 consists of forms and spaces whose positions in
space and relationships with one another are
regulated by a three-dimensional grid pattern or
field
 can be interrupted to define a major space or
accommodate a natural feature of its site
 portions of the grid can slide to alter the visual
and spatial continuity across its field
- the original design concept can be
clarified, strengthened and built
upon, rather than destroyed
