THE UNITY OF OPPOSITES:
To understand the spaces around us, your brain creates two opposite spaces; negative and positive. Positive to determine the main forms and the negative for the backgrounds. When both of these spaces are put together they generate the unity of opposites.

Diagrammatic example:
Example of the unity of opposite in a building environment:
The house is the positive space and the surrounding will be considered as the negative space.
DEFINING SPACES WITH HORIZONTAL ELEMENTS:
The horizontal lines in a space help to determine the vertical elements and visually strengthen the form between the space and the background.
There are two kind of horizontal elements, Base planes and Overhead planes. And the base plane has two sub-divisions, Elevated base plane and Depressed base planes.
Diagrammatic example of overhead plane:
Example of the overhead plane in an interior environment:
the island top determines the volume between it and the floor. the island’s top would be the overhead plane here.

There are 6 kinds:

-L-Shaped Planes
-Parallel Planes
-U-shaped Planes
-Closure
