Connecting_architecture [entity]
An entity is integrated into a building as a Part of a (possibly unexpressed) Whole which may refer to the whole building or merely to a sub-part of the building. The Part itself connects locations within the building to each other, Connected_locations. If a particular point of view is adopted in the context of real or imagined motion, then one of the locations can be construed as Goal and the other as Source.
