Some elements used to structure organizations are static; they reflect where the organization sits on a continuum, but they acknowledge that the organization occupies only one point on that continuum at a given time (although, of course, the specific point occupied can change from one time to another). One of the static elements of structure is physical design
Physical Design
The physical design of an organization has two dimensions which are influencing the overall structure. These dimensions are: (1) the qualities of the organization's physical space and the atmosphere created by the space; and (2) the arrangement of units within that space.
Most organizations are formed around an existing physical design, as when social clubs are designed to fit into the existing physical characteristics of a church or community center. A church with a large population of young families, for instance, will probably establish groups oriented toward children or toward giving support to parents. Similarly, a community center with such recreational facilities as a swimming pool and tennis courts will create groups that can use those facilities; another center, with gymnastics equipment, will form groups interested in that sport.
