What is spatial organization in architecture?

SPACE Principally we have to know that Spaces must: -Have specific functions or require specific forms -Are flexible in use and can be freely manipulated -Are singular and unique in their function or significance to the building organization -Have similar functions and can be grouped into a functional cluster or repeated in a linear sequence -Required exterior exposure for light, ventilation, view or access to outdoor spaces -Must be segregated for privacy -Must be easily accessible

Organizational architecture or organizational space: the influence of the spatial environment on humans in and around organizations.

DESIGN Organizational architecture or organization design: the creation of roles, processes, and formal reporting relationships in an organization. It provides the framework through which an organization aims to realize its core qualities as specified in its vision statement

It provides the infrastructure into which business processes are deployed and ensures that the organization's core qualities are realized across the business processes deployed within the organization. In this way organizations aim to consistently realize their core qualities across the services they offer to their clients. This perspective on organizational architecture is elaborated below.

Architectural spatial organizational schemes Architectural Order: There exists a natural diversity and complexity in architectural works and requirements for buildings. Many architects and designers have focused on the concept of order, and how concepts of order can produce a sense of beauty, discipline, and meaning in buildings. Organizational schemes: Organizational The four following spatial can be seen as compositional 'constructs‘ Schemes wherein diverse forms and spaces can be arranged into an inter-related 'whole' via systematic and disciplined forethought. The vast majority of buildings are composed of a number of rooms or spaces related to one another by function, proximity, or a circulation path. It is important to remember that organizational schemes are inherently 'value-neutral'; organization schemes become more or less valuable depending on the intentions of the design.

Linear Organization: A linear organization consists essentially of a series of spaces or objects. These spaces can be directly related to one another or linked through a separate and distinct space. Spaces that are functionally or symbolically important to the organization can occur anywhere along the linear sequence and their importance articulated by size and form. Centralized Organization: A centralized organization is a stable, concentrated composition that consists of a number of secondary spaces grouped around a larger central space or object. The central unifying space of the organization is typically uniform in shape and large enough to gather a number of secondary spaces about its form

Clustered Organization: A clustered organization uses proximity to relate its spaces or objects to one another. Clusters can accommodate within its composition spaces that are dissimilar in size, form and function. Because the pattern does not originate from a rigid, geometric concept, the cluster is flexible and can accept growth and change easily. Grid Organization: A grid consists of forms and spaces whose positions in space and relationships with one another are regulated by a geometrical and repetitive pattern. A grid is usually created by creating by establishing a regular pattern of points that define the intersection of two parallel lines. Projected into the third dimension, the grid can be transformed into a set of repetitive, modular units of space.

How divide the internal spaces to create architectural organization? We can divide internal spaces with elements of architecture like walls, panels, pillars, columns, water bodies, green spaces, curtain wall and other elements. They are the commonest.

Conclusion When an architect are designing He must think how the people can live in the best way his building site. To achieve this objective the building must have an organization that approach in a good way the spaces and functions of the building. Here comes the spatial organization, this is what gives sense to the buildings and makes it habitable.
