Can architectural ordonnance be used to create a sense of open space and fluidity within a building or space?

Yes, architectural ordonnance can be used to create a sense of open space and fluidity within a building or space. The arrangement and organization of elements such as columns, walls, and ceilings can be used to create a visual flow and sense of openness. For example, using an open floor plan with minimal barriers and transitional spaces can create a sense of fluidity and openness. Employing large windows and skylights can create a visual connection between indoor and outdoor space, which can further enhance the sense of openness. Additionally, the use of materiality and color can also contribute to creating a sense of open space and fluidity within a building.
