Problem
Freestanding, separate buildings leave the ground between them unsheltered and shapeless; people must cross the open air in any weather to get from one to the next.
Solution
Link neighboring buildings with covered passages, galleries, or shared walls rather than setting each up as an isolated island, so sheltered routes and well-defined outdoor spaces form in between.
