Spatial Zoning
Spatial Zoning is a way architects use to split up a building or area into different parts so each part has a clear job, like eating, sleeping, or working. In modern architecture, spatial zoning can use movable walls or flexible furniture to let spaces change their use during the day. This helps buildings work better for people who use them, making it easy to switch from one activity to another. Designers sometimes use color, light, or floor patterns to show where one zone ends and another begins, making the layout easy to understand at a glance.
