Continuing with this notion of “the restriction of movement defines the barriers,� sonar became a prime example of this idea; sound waves are deflected off surfaces through the use of the Law of Reflection, illuminating the space. The method for which sonar works was utlilized to map out the placement and interactions of the building with the site. Similar to the linear drawing of the bundle, the density defines the space. In the case of this structure, densities will also define programming, circulation, height, and the porosity of the spaces.
