BASIC CONCEPTS OF ARCHITECTURAL SPACE
TYPES OF ARCHITECTURAL SPACES interior – intermediate – exterior space
FORMATION OF ARCHITECTURAL SPACES center – lower limit – lateral limit – upper limit – openings
SPATIAL RELATIONS juxtaposing spaces / placing elements one beside the other – interweaving spaces / joining elements
TYPES OF ARCHITECTURAL SPACE interior – intermediate – exterior space
INTERIOR SPACE
CLOSED, SECURE, CAVE-like
MEANINGFUL, MONUMENTAL, SACRED
INTERESTING, PLAYFUL, CONFUSING
LARGE, SPACIOUS
SMALL, FAMILIAR, LIVABLE
INTERMEDIATE SPACE
transition between exterior and interior
PROTECTED / OPEN
MULTIFUNCTIONAL
CONNECTIVE
MEETING POINT
EXTERIOR SPACE open from above

CONSTRUCTION
IN ANCIENT TIMES ARCHITECTURE WAS ONLY ABLE TO USE HEAVY BUILDING CONSTRUCTIONS ONLY, RESULTING IN MINIMAL INTERIOR SPACES
LATER - AS A RESULT OF TECHNOLOGICAL PROGRESS - ARCHITECTURE WAS STRIVING FOR MAXIMUM INTERIOR SPACE BY THE CONSUMPTION OF MINIMAL BUILDING MATERIALS
FORMATION OF SPACE
architectural space is born from the relationship between objects or bounderies, which defines limits

FORMATION OF SPACE
lateral limit
lower limit
CENTRE
spatiality of objects a free-standing sculpture or building exerts a radiance which defines a more or less precise field around it we shall use the analogy of radiance the extent of the radiance depends on the nature and size of the object on one hand, and on the context on the other

OPENINGS OF SPACE
articulation of space relationships
the position and the relative sizes of the openings, their form itself, structure the space and help define the nature of the envelope – closed / open / static / dynamic / …
