Positive Outdoor Space

Opening context:
South Facing Outdoors, Wings of Light, Courtyards which Live

Conflict

Outdoor spaces which are merely “left over” between buildings will, in general, not be used.

Resolution

Make all the outdoor spaces which surround and lie between your buildings positive. Give each one some degree of enclosure; surround each space with wings of buildings, trees, hedges, fences, arcades, and trellised walks, until it becomes an entity with a positive quality and does not spill out indefinitely around corners.

Closing context:
Wings of Light, Tree Places, Garden Wall, Outdoor Room, Building Edge
