2.2.4. Path-Space Relationship

2.2.4.Path-Space Relationship Paths are related to the spaces they link to. They do so in three distinct ways: • They pass by spaces When paths pass by spaces, they do so independently of the spaces.

They do not affect the form or program within the spaces, as illustrated in figure 2.12. The path configuration is flexible in such cases.

• They pass through spaces

When a path passes through a space or series of spaces, on the other hand, it does affect the internal circulation of the physical shape of the space or spaces.

As shown in figure 2.13, by cutting through a space, a path creates movement and points of rest within the space.

• They terminate in a space.

As illustrated in figure 2.14, the path is established by the location of the space itself.

This configuration is common in symbolically important spaces, such as monuments for example.
