SPACE ORGANIZATION

5-3 PRINCIPLES RELATED TO BASIC SPATIAL ORGANIZATION (cont'd)
(2) Axial Organization. This scheme is developed by dividing the circulation into two axial paths
separating the academic and vocational-training spaces along two different axes as shown in Figure
5-2. Spaces can be arranged along the axis on one or both sides. The axial scheme facilitates both
noise and visual control. It also provides excellent opportunity for expansion of facilities and adapts
well to varying site conditions.

(3) Dispersed Organization. This scheme is characterized by circulation linkages that both connect
and separate activities. Academic and vocational-training spaces are arranged along individual
spines, separated by a connector spine along which staff and support spaces are arranged as shown
in Figure 5-3. The dispersed scheme also facilitates good noise control but may inhibit visual control.
This scheme is more suitable for severe climate conditions but may have limited adaptability to difficult
site conditions.
