Local vs absolute axiality

There are a lot of different ways to explore sequence, order and placement of spaces.  For this project we are going with local axiality,  this means that the spatial organization will be developed with each space’s orientation and focus derived from internal motivations rather than a external system.  This might not make a lot of sense.  So here is an example: Forbidden City china: everything is based on one super imposed axis and everything from there on out is derived from that.  vs the Acropolis Greece, the layouts of the buildings was based on approaches views and relationships to natural features an other structures.  That is more what we are after but ideas will be our driving site characteristics.
