02.02



This picture was taken from the right side of the church looking into the place´. Of the examples from other urban spaces, the top, right example best fits this picture. In the picture there is a street to the right that can be seen straight down leading out of the space. This is also well exemplified in plan. Also in plan, there is a street directly in front of the church that comes in, runs tangent to the far side of the place´, and finally passes all the way through the place. This street is perpendicular to the street that, from the image, can be seen down and out of the place. There are two other streets that make up the last corner of the place´. This corner cannot be seen from the picture. In plan, it is clear that the other two streets, which are perpendicular to each other, come into the place´ and are terminated by the surrounding buildings. One these streets pass directly in front of the church. This street is also easiest to see from the picture. The buildings surrounding the place´ are really what make the space so well defined. From the picture, only the far façade of buildings can be seen. The streets are the inner lining of the space, but the buildings come together to form sharp corners that well delineate the space.
