a) Place Space (Yellow)
spaces which portray a sense of definite location or position.
b) Path Space (Red)
major transition spaces which are directional; corridor/connector/passageway.
c) Transition Space (Green)
spaces which act primarily as joints or fasteners.
can become an articulation between dissimilar elements.
a type of space which defines, separates, or joins.
a space that aids in the definition and/or juxtaposition of spaces or elements of contrasting or continuous character.
d) Servant Space (Blue)
spaces which are support to place spaces, path spaces, and transition spaces. mechanical voids & space occupied by structural elements, built in elements, wet areas, etc.
(Servant space as understood in opposition to Served space)

Architectural Programming (Rex, Studio 1412)
'Sequence' notes
Architectural sequence - 3 parts: a) internal - deals with method of work b) external - juxtaposition of spaces c) external - programming
a) Transformational sequence - device, procedure
b) Spatial sequence - occurrences abound history
c) Programming sequence - social and symbolic connotations
-transformation sequences tend to rely on devices
-closed (ending process) and open (infinite in understanding) sequences of transformation
-architecture is inhabited
-any predetermined sequence of events can be made into program
-program has 3 categories: indifferent to-, reinforce-, or work against- spatial sequence
a) indifferent- the battalion marches on the fields
b) reciprocity- the skater skates on the skating rink
c) conflict- the battalion skates on the tightrope
-spatial sequences are independent upon what happens in them
-spatial sequences are generally structural
-events take place. and again. and again.
-by habit, we describe sequence chronologically; some architects desire to be looked at with a glance
-if the spatial sequence inevitably implies the movement of the observer, then the movement can be objectively mapped and formalized - sequentially
-the final meaning of any sequence is dependent upon the relation space/event/movement
-architectural sequences do not equal the reality of the building - the narrative is implied - implicates rituals
-rituals imply one method that cannot be broken
-all sequences are cumulative
-frame: the moments of sequence. examining architecture "frame by frame" as though a film-editing machine
-all transformational devices can apply equally and interdependently to spaces, events, movements
-alternatively, architectural sequences can be made strategically disjunctive

- s1-b – topiary garden / reflecting pools
- s1-c – paths within events (i.e.: orange garden, lemon garden, theatre…)
Vertical Surfaces
- s2-a – approach avenue entrance to villa
- s2-b – hedges with archways (cut into)
Vertical Elements
- e1-a – bosco (north and south)
- e1-b – allée(s)
- e1-c – hedges with archways (cut into)
Path Elements
