• Function refers to the purpose of a building or structure.
• Symbolic function is the type of function that cannot be quantified or expressed in instrumental terms.
• Interiority is a concept of increasing importance to architects in urban centers to confront new methods of space-making as cities become more densely populated and resources diminish.

• Flush style is a building entrance that maintains the continuity of its plane surface.
• Grid configuration consists of two sets of parallel paths that intersect at regular intervals to create square or rectangular spaces.
• Anomity is a state of being unknown even in a crowd.
• Personalization is staking claims to places and is the manifestation of desire for control and expression of aesthetic tastes.
• Social distance is a distance zone between strangers of 1.20m to 3.70m.
• Spiral approach is the path that prolongs the sequence of approach emphasizing the three-dimensional form of the building as we move around its perimeter.
• Pass-by spaces are a path-space relationship where the integrity of each space is maintained.
• Texture represents the perceived surface quality of a work of art.
• Grey is a neutral color and denotes practicality and timelessness.
• Composite configuration is a path configuration usually used in buildings.
• Volume is an extended plane with length, width, and depth; form and space; surface; orientation and position.
• Ken is a Japanese unit of measure originally designating the interval between two columns and was standardized for residential architecture.
• Overhead plane is either the roof plane that spans and shelters interior spaces or the ceiling plane.
• Shape is the characteristic outline or surface configuration of a particular form.
• Ergonomics is the applied science that coordinates the design of devices, systems, and environments with our physiological/psychological capacities and requirements.
• Wall plane is the plane active in our normal vision field and vital to shaping/enclosing architectural space.
• Dimensional transformation alters one dimension while keeping the form's family identity. Interlocking volume is a type of interrelationship, the forms interpenetrate each other's space and do not need to share any visual traits.
• Unity is achieved by the consistent use of lines, color, material, or texture within a design.
