Strong Spatial Enclosures - Suhas Akiwate - 08-22-2014

Spaces designed with closed corners have a greater sense of enclosure.

Advantages of strong enclosure

Strong sense of location, privacy
Easy to define territory, provide surveillance (see territory)
May decrease vandalism
May increase social contact between residents within communal area.

Disadvantages
If all spaces are enclosed in the same way there could be a lack of contrast
