When planning my objects I never thought about their collocation. These objects have their own spatial functionality, they can, therefore, be inserted into a pre-existing ‘Environmental Space’ that will be modified as a result, becoming newly determined or even turned upside-down in its definition as a positive space or a negative space. However, since these objects are already planed as ‘space units’, they can be readily regarded as ‘environmental space’ in themselves.
