Summaries of content, keywords and links generated by algorithms. Thank you smmry.com:

Summary 1: There are two fundamentally different kinds of outdoor space: negative space and positive space.

Summary 2: If you look at the plan of an environment where outdoor spaces are negative, you see the buildings as figure, and the outdoor space as ground.

Summary 3: If you look at the plan of an environment where outdoor spaces are positive, you may see the buildings as figure, and outdoor spaces as ground - and,you may also see the outdoor spaces as figure against the ground of the buildings.

Summary 4: In mathematics, a space is convex when a line joining any two points inside the space itself lies totally inside the space.

Summary 5: People feel comfortable in spaces which are "Positive" and use these spaces; people feel relatively uncomfortable in spaces which are "Negative" and such spaces tend to remain unused.

Summary 6: Use open trellised walks, walls, and trees to close off spaces which are too exposed - TREE PLACES, CARDEN WALL, TRELLISED WALK; but make sure that every space is always open to some larger space, so that it is not too enclosed - HIERARCHY OF OPEN SPACE..
