ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION Inevitably, some overlap occurs between the previous chapter, which explored the relationships between interior structure and building function, and this chapter. Chapter 5 examined how structure subdivides space in order to physically separate different functions and accommodate them in their own spaces, and how it defines and identifies other important functions, such as circulation. This chapter, however, is not concerned about how structure affects building function in a practical or physical sense – rather, it considers how structure contributes to the architectural qualities and characters of interior spaces.
