2. Figure-ground diagram - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Figure-ground_diagram

   A figure-ground diagram is a two-dimensional map of an urban space that shows the relationship between built and unbuilt space. It is used in analysis of urban design and planning . It is akin to but not the same as a Nolli map which denotes public space both within and outside buildings and also akin to a block pattern diagram that records ...

3. Lightwell - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightwell

   In architecture, a lightwell, [NB 1] sky-well, [NB 2] or air shaft is an unroofed or roofed external space provided within the volume of a large building to allow light and air to reach what would otherwise be a dark or unventilated area.

7. Six-dimensional space - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six-dimensional_space

   More generally, any space that can be described locally with six coordinates, not necessarily Euclidean ones, is six-dimensional. One example is the surface of the 6-sphere, S 6. This is the set of all points in seven-dimensional space (Euclidean) that are a fixed distance from the origin. This constraint reduces the number of coordinates ...

8. Space (architecture) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space_(architecture)

   Space is one of the elements of design of architecture, [1] as space is continuously studied for its usage. Architectural designs are created by carving space out of space, creating space out of space, and designing spaces by dividing this space using various tools, such as geometry , colours , and shapes .

9. Organic architecture - Wikipedia

   Building and Site- The site is earth but raw; it has its own form and structure (flat or contour); trees and other plantations are part of the landform. The nature of the land influences the form of the building to some extent or completely. Buildings, like plants, emerge naturally from the landscape.
