architectural elements will require substantial space to be fully effective.
A recent study of such underground architectural spaces notes that many of the kinds of space with
which we are dealing, would, “because of the dominant modes of activity within them, require relief
by physical or visual connection to adjacent high activity areas or the external environment, or both.
Characteristic occupancy of such spaces would by relatively secondary and routinized.
Characteristic examples of such spaces would be conference centers, classrooms, and offices”
(superscript 1 here).
It is our judgment that the quantity and quality of natural light and external views deemed adequate
for underground spaces in the Northern Pointe Development cannot be established with certainty,
owing to the preliminary nature of this study and the large number of unresolved controlling factors.
