Architectural ordonnance can be used to support the building's social engagement by creating spaces that facilitate interaction and community building. This can be achieved through the following strategies:
1. Incorporating gathering spaces: In order to allow people to connect and engage with one another, the building should have gathering spaces that provide adequate seating and encourage interaction.
2. Creating spaces with natural light: People are more likely to socialize and feel comfortable in spaces that are well-lit. Therefore, an architect can design a space that allows for natural light to enter the building and create a sense of warmth and comfort.
3. Providing a flexible layout: Spaces that are flexible can be adapted to meet the changing needs of the community. For instance, a multi-purpose room can be used for meetings, classes, or events, thereby increasing the building's usefulness.
4. Incorporating greenery: Incorporating greenery into the design of the building can create an inviting atmosphere and help improve air quality. This can help create a sense of community and promote social engagement.
5. Creating outdoor spaces: Outdoor spaces can provide opportunities for people to gather, play, and enjoy the surrounding environment. This can be done by creating a courtyard, garden, or other outdoor recreational space.
By incorporating these features into the building's design, an architect can support the building's social engagement and create a sense of community for its occupants.
