ABSTRACT
The composite landscape is the sum of the spatial framework created by landform, vegetation and built structures. It controls our unfolding experience as we move through a sequence of spaces and transitions. All of the primary organizations can be found in landscape as well as architecture and they give us a means of analysing and understanding composite landscape space. A linear organization is a serial progression of spaces. A clustered organization of spaces is suited to a range of related activities that require their own separate domains. The organization can be concentric (a centralized organization), or the contained spaces can be distributed asymmetrically according to the requirements of circulation and other usage. Linear, clustered and contained organizations will all have some degree of hierarchy in their constituent spaces. Entrances and transitional spaces allow us to express the relationship between spaces and the relationship between the people that use them.
