Opening context:
Wings of Light, Number of Stories, Main Entrance

Conflict

Unless the spaces in a building are arranged in a sequence which corresponds to their degrees of privateness, the visits made by strangers, friends, guests, clients, family, will always be a little awkward.

Lay out the spaces of a building so that they create a sequence which begins with the entrance and the most public parts of the building, then leads into the slightly more private areas, and finally to the most private domains.

Closing context:
Common Areas at the Heart, Entrance Room, A Room of One’s Own, Bathing Room, Sequence of Sitting Spaces
