Definition

"The determining characteristics of Equipotential space are continuity, flexibility, and articulation. Instead of being planned for a few specific purposes, Equipotential space can be modulated at will for any purpose" [1]

"Equipotential space offers the possibility of real freedom", wrote Serverino, "This is not freedom just to be different, but freedom to participate as fully as possible, give social, economic and technical reality" [2].

The most successful online sites have shown us a full realization of Severino's Equipotential Space. "It is freedom to shape responsive solutions to immediate needs - and when these needs change, to have a new solution" [3].

History

The term Equipotential Space was coined by Renato Serverino in 1970 in his book Equipotential Space: Freedom in Architecture.
