106 Positive Outdoor Space

May be part of South Facing Outdoors (105), Wings of Light (107), Courtyards which Live (115).

Conflict

Outdoor spaces which are merely "left over" between buildings will, in general, not be used.

Resolution

Make all the outdoor spaces which surround and lie between your buildings positive. Give each one some degree of enclosure; surround each space with wings of buildings, trees, hedges, fences, arcades, and trellised walks, until it becomes an entity with a positive quality and does not spill out indefinitely around corners.

May contain Wings of Light (107), Tree Places (171), Garden Wall (173), Outdoor Room (163), Building Edge (160).
