This course deals with the physical systems that define, organise, and reinforce the perceptual and conceptual ordering of a building.

A system can be defined as an assembly of interrelated or interdependent parts forming a more complex and unified whole and serving a common purpose. A building can be understood to be the physical embodiment of a number of systems and subsystems that must necessary be related, coordinated and integrated with each other as well as with the three-dimensional form and spatial organisation of the building as a whole.
