“In the case of paths that pass through the served spaces, there is a planned, intentional intrusion. In these cases you, as the designer, have determined that the resulting integration between the path and the served space or spaces is desirable or, at least acceptable.”

“In the case of superimposed spaces, two (or more) spaces are literally superimposed over one another, creating a new spatial definition and geometry. Depending on the treatment of the surfaces and ceiling planes, both spaces can have equal dominance or one can dominate the other.”
Pages 77-78 “the art of joining spaces”
“Passageways can be either tunnel-like adjoining passages between spaces or merely openings in the wall that allow movement between spaces. In the first case, they invite movement; in the second, they allow it. Many modern interiors rely on wide passageways as a way to move between spaces. Openings allow movement between spaces, but the user relies on other directional cues from the furnishings or other objects to know which way to go.”

With the way these spaces are laid out, it allowing natural movement of people through the space. This works within my design because I want people to go in the lounge to see what it is and experience the space. The kitchen area separates the lounge into sections but also keeps the entire space a whole. Because it is so open, the dropped ceiling acts as a cue to tell the user where to go. They can either follow it to enter the kitchen, cross through it to enter another lounge section, or use it as a leader to find the lounge - depending on the direction they enter from.
