An anti-corridic logic, on the other hand, is non-linear and permits constellations to emerge: many stars can be perceived at once and the imagination can link them into any desired figure. The space of corridors is linear: rooms are perceived and passed in a fixed sequence of one space following another. The space of anti-corridors is non-linear: rooms are dispersed into a field. Many spaces can be perceived at once and one can pass through them in any order. Desired constellations can emerge. Airports and intermodal hubs typically follow corridic logic. An airport/intermodal hub that is anti-corridic disperses all spaces into a field of options whereby individuals with different itineraries can perceive and move through a field of spatial choices resulting in ideally perceived and desired spatial constellations. This thesis proposes a prototype for an anti-corridic airport/ intermodal hub.by Andrew Ferentinos.S.M
