3.If the edge condition is articulated by a

change in form,color,or texture then the
field will become a plateau that is
separate and distinct from its
surruondings.

1.The articulation of the surface of the

ground or floor plane is often used in
architecture to define a zone of space
within a larger spatial context.

4.within the interior spaces of a building

,an elevated floor plane can define a
space that serves as a retreat from the
act. Around it .It can be a platform for
viewing the surrounding space within a
room.

2.Elevating a portion of the base plane will

create a field of space and define the
boundary of its field and interrupts the
flow of space across its surface.and if the
surface continues up across the elevated
plane<then the elevated plane will appear
to be very much a part of the surrounding
space.

5.A field of space can be articulated by

depressing a portion of the base plane.The
bounderies of the field are defined by the
vertical surfaces of the depression.
