Through appropriate placement with respect to their character and hierarchy, relationships are created that strengthen the individual's traits. This reinforcement creates an effect beyond what the individual elements are able to project toward one another, and influences our participation in their relationships. If we question how element identity, placement and alignment work together to create prepositional relationships, and consciously define members within a physical hierarchy, then we are able to strengthen identity of individual members, and ultimately create a more meaningful and considerate environment.In CopyrightAlignmentElementPrepositionThesishttp://scholar.lib.vt.edu/theses/available/etd-02182008-131044/
