    Architectural space

    Group 3
    Concept of space in architecture
    • The Element of Design Space refers to the area within, around,
    above or below an object or objects. It is important to creating and
    understanding both two dimensional or three dimensional works
    of art. With three dimensional art the space things occupy is real
    as is the space around object.
    • In two dimensional art this is definitely not the case. Two
    dimensional art exists on a flat surface, so if something looks
    three dimensional- it is an illusion! 
    Types of Architectural Space
    • Physical Space : the volume of air
    bounded by the walls, floor, and ceiling of
    a room (so many cubic feet or meters of
    space).
    • Perceptual Space: space that can be
    perceived, or seen (especially when there
    are glass walls or windows, this may
    extend well beyond the boundary of the
    walls and be impossible to quantify).
    Cont..
    • Conceptual Space: the mental map we carry around in our heads, the
    plan stored in our memory, which we use to navigate familiar spaces
    (buildings that work well can be easily grasped and held in the mind’s
    eye, through which people move with a kind of inevitability).
    • Behavioral Space: space we actually move through and use (for
    example, if there is a large hole covered with a cloth in the center of a
    room, we must walk around the periphery instead of diagonally across it
    – the physical space hasn’t changed, but the behavioral space has).
    Cont..
    • Interwoven Space: fluid spaces and
    connected spaces that flow into one
    another.

    • Static Space: isolated spaces that have


    discrete, clearly understood functions.
    Cont..
    • Directional Space: when there is one
    obvious, compelling path through a
    building.

    • Non-directional Space: when there are a


    variety of paths through a building to
    choose from.
    Cont..
    • Positive Space: one that is conceived of as
    a void, then wrapped in a built shell
    specifically erected to define and contain it.
    • Negative Space: created by hollowing out
    a solid that already exists, or the open space
    that is simply left over after the
    construction of surrounding.
    Horizontal elements in architectural space
    • The most fundamental horizontal shape used in architecture is the plane. A rectangular base plane with
    four edges and corners is all that is required to dene space in an open eld. A circular base plan can
    accomplish the same with a single edge and no corners. Neither requires thickness, only a change in
    texture, tone or color to dene its shape.

    • When thickness is added to a base plane, so that it rises above ground, it creates a vertical edge. This
    helps to further reinforce the difference between the plane eld and the ground. If it rises above ground,
    the edges help dene a solid shape. If it is depressed below the surface of the ground, it creates a volume
    of space.
    Vertical linear elements in architectural space
    • Vertical linear elements dene the perpendicular edges of a volume of space and include things like
    columns or posts. This is the most elemental form used to articulate a vertical boundary. A single
    vertical plane can also articulate the space which it fronts. The best example is a single wall, either in
    a building structure or landscape, such as a retaining wall. By adding a second vertical element, an L-
    shaped plane can be achieved if both planes meet at a corner.

    • If, on the other hand, two planes are separated from one another along the same axis, they form
    parallel planes which dene space axially. When a third plane is added, so that each plane meets at a
    corner, a U-shaped plane is achieved. In such a conguration, space is dened toward the open end of
    the conguration.
