􏰀Configuration of the Path

Paths leading to a space always start with at point and the scale of the pathway can determine the importance of the space that it leads us to. Paths leading towards public spaces tend to be bigger then paths that lead to private spaces. There are 6 types of configuration of paths; linear, radial, spiral, grid, network, and composite.

􏰀Path-Space Relationships
The way the path links spaces can change the relations of the connecting spaces. There are three relationships of path-spaces; Pass by spaces, pass through spaces and terminate in a space.
