a space zone is one that is obstructed in some way.

a) open b) closed c) changing d) all of the above

Answer: b. closed

Space can be described as either openness or closure in architecture and design. Open space is almost empty; nothing and no one hinders the movement. For instance, an open field or a broad square. Closed space is blocked and finite – it does not flow. For instance, a room enclosure. Space may also be quasi-open or quasi-closed, as a middle ground between open flow and prescribed boundaries. However, overall a confined space area is defined by substantial barriers to movement and sight lines. These barriers include walls, furnishings, piers and other architectural and interior elements that divide space . Boundaries make the space seem cabined instead of open hence having free movement. This delineation and enclosure can be termed as a confined space area.
