A clustered organization can have a central focal point or uniting central form, however, it lacks the regularity and symmetry of a centralized organization. The center form can be emphasized to create a greater sense of hierarchy. Clustered organizations can also have a linear element that organizes the clustered forms.

A clustered organization is a group of spaces in close proximity. Mostly these spaces have similar functions and share common visual traits such as shape or orientation. But in some situations, these spaces are different in size, form, and function from one another.

The clustered organization typically relies on the proximity of the relative spaces and has repetitive cellular spaces having certain visual qualities in common. However, a clustered organization can have a central focal point which can create a sense of hierarchy and also be an area of emphasis.

A cluster organization is best defined as a more loosely arranged collection of objects or shapes. Many housing developments are organized as clusters of residences and landscape features
