Spatial Features

Begin the spatial reading by comparing the building type, site, and date. Notice how the project organizes public and private zones, how it meets the ground, and how its plan may reflect the social program behind the commission.

Light Features

Use the image record as a first clue for material and light. Look for shadow, facade depth, roof form, openings, and the way the building mediates between exterior climate and interior use.

Circulation

Read circulation through approach, threshold, sequence, and gathering space. Even when detailed drawings are not yet available, the archive facts help position the work within a broader network of comparable buildings.
