spatial arrangement from "summary" of Thinking Architecture by Peter Zumthor
Organizing and balancing different elements of a space can help create a harmonious environment. This involves considering the size, shape, and placement of each element in order to create a pleasing look and feel.- Spatial arrangement is an important concept when designing a space – the way elements are harmoniously arranged can completely makeover the aesthetic of the physical environment. For example, lines, shapes and sizes should be symmetrically balanced to create a visually pleasing atmosphere.
- Understanding the impact that spatial arrangement has in the overall look and feel of a place is key to successful interior design. Depending on the desired feeling, items such as chairs, rugs and decor can be carefully spaced out to form an inviting and soothing environment.
- A well-designed room can evoke certain emotions by employing different spatial arrangements– focusing on a theme or purpose, elements and objects in the room are purposefully placed in order to maximize its effect.
- The ultimate goal of environmental design lies in creating a balance between functionality and aesthetics - the most crucial part being the arrangement of furniture, floors, walls and ceiling, as well as colour, texture and lighting.
- The proper coordination of earthy tones, tints and hues also play an important role in ensuring a pleasant atmosphere and accentuating the beauty of the space. Harmonizing each element with one another lend a sense of unity to any space.
- Consideration must be taken as to how the components interact with one another and coexist with the user.That is how a properly-planned area will induce various moods and influence human behavior based on their own experiences.
