A 12-step sequence of structure-preserving steps proposed in this chapter for shaping urban space as positive hulls, beginning with identifying main spaces and ending with subdividing interiors.

Methods (3)
method
- A design method where only the walls forming space are built in a physical model, with no building volumes, to refine the quality of the spaces first without distracting from them.
- A method of reversing the figure-ground of a plan to test whether the space reads as a solid, connected figure, revealing its positive character.
- A method of using existing, similar streets or places to simulate and judge the dimensions and qualities of a proposed space by standing there, using markers, and walking through.
