What is Space?
The cornerstone of any interior is space, which is a crucial
concept to understand.

Space can be divided into two parts

Positive Space Negative Space

- a space where objects can be found - vacant/open empty space
Defining
Space
We can move, see forms, hear sounds, and feel breezes because
space constantly encompasses our being; it is an inherently formless
vapor. Every three-dimensional structure creates a sphere of influence
in which it asserts as its own by naturally articulating the volume of
space around it.
 Architectural
Space
● The quality of its light, as well as its visual shape, dimensions,
and scale, are all dependent on our understanding of the
spatial boundaries established by the elements of form.
Architecture emerges as space is captured, enclosed, shaped,
and arranged by the elements of mass. The volume and quality
of architectural spaces encapsulate intangible ideas and
transform them into a formally distinct enclosure of the building
capable of suggesting an appropriate spatial setting for the
specific use.
Exterior spaces are vital to the wellbeing of both the city
and the house. They act as the building's "lungs,"
absorbing sunshine, nature, and fresh air. encompassing
all of a building's, structure's, or object's exterior
surfaces in terms of style, design, general arrangement,
and components. Its aim is to bring humans closer to
nature by eliminating individual identities and replacing
them with a shared one.
 Inside to outside

It refers to the interdependence of

interaction and relationship between
an architectural work's internal and
external features. the interaction and
relationship of two seemingly
contradictory but fundamentally
related factors in architecture.
Interior Space

Is the spatial art of environmental design that

aims to provide physical protection and safety
from the elements of nature while also creating
a sense of identity for the individual or
community within the area/space.
 Structuring
Space
● Enclosure System

Exterior walls, doors, a roof, and

windows form the building envelope, which
protects and shelters interior spaces from the
elements. Many of these components are non-
structural in nature, supporting only their own
weight.
 Structural
System

The geometry of its materials and how they respond to forces

applied to them define a structural system. The substructure
that forms the foundation of a building, anchors it to the
ground, and supports the elements and spaces above it is known
as the foundation system.
 Linear Structural
System
A linear organization consists of a set of spaces that
are similar in size, shape, and function. Each space
along the series has an exterior exposure and can be
connected directly or indirectly through a separate and
distinct linear space. It is inherently adaptable and can
quickly react to changing conditions on the ground. It
can adjust to changes in topography, navigate around a
body of water or a grove of trees, and transform to
orient spaces for the best light and views.
 Planar
StructuralSystem

Planar elements are used as supporting elements in the

building's structural system. They were frequently used
to create a controlled interior space, to provide
separation and enclosure, to provide protection from
the outside, and to connect or define the boundaries of
spaces. The repetitions of these elements provide a
clear sense of direction.
A three-dimensional mass constitutes a
volumetric structural system. The density of the
material fills the empty space. The interior space
volume is carved out of the mass. Any structure
that encloses interior space can be considered a
three-dimensional structure with width, length,
and depth strength.

Volumetric Structural
System
Building interior applications may also benefit from
composites because they allow for a lot of customization.
Architects can use composite wall panels to create designs
that would be difficult or impossible to achieve with
conventional techniques, as well as to improve thermal
performance and energy efficiency, and create a more
beautiful, long-lasting, and environmentally friendly structure.
Since they are immune to harsh weather conditions and are
easy to maintain, composite building facades and structural
components are more durable than conventional materials.
 Shaping Interior
Space

It is the process of selecting and arranging interior elements

in order for their visual relationships to characterize and
organize a room's interior space. Furnishings can be used to
define spatial patterns, divide areas, and create a sense of
enclosure.
1. Spatial
Form
Shaping Interior
The physical and material solid-stuff of the built
Space
environment, as well as its void-space, are
referred to as spatial form. Its aim is to capture
the relationship between solid form and void-
form, as well as to think of space as continuous
and thus connected to the larger context
surrounding the project's location.

2. Spatial
Dimention
The design of a building's structural system—the
strength of its materials and the size and spacing
of its members—is directly related to the
dimensions of interior space. It influences the way
a room is used by determining its proportion and
size.
3. Square
Spaces
Shaping Interior
Because the length of the space equals the
Space
width, a square room has a static consistency
and is mostly formal in character. The equality of
the four sides draws our attention to the center
of the room.

4. Rectangular
Spaces
A rectangular space is highly adaptable since its
width is usually spanned across it. When a room's
length exceeds its width, it tends to control and
affect the space's layout and use.

5. Curvilinear
Spaces

Curvilinear spaces are typically used only in

exceptional circumstances. A circular space is the
most basic curvilinear space. It's small and self-
centered. Other curvilinear spaces can be
thought of as layered transformations of circular
or elliptical spaces.
The Vertical Dimension of
Space
This vertical dimension, its height, is defined by the
ceiling plane. A measurable change in ceiling
height tends to have a greater impact on our
perception of a room than a comparable change in
width or length.

1. Ceiling
The form and manner in which a roof framework spans the
space can be reflected in the ceiling it creates. High
ceilings are frequently linked to feelings of grandeur or
loftiness. Low ceilings can create an intimate and cozy
atmosphere reminiscent of a cave.
It reduces our field of
vision and makes
movement difficult. The
essence of the connecting
spaces, as well as the
shared boundaries.
1. Doorways
Physical access from one space to another is provided by doorways.

2. Windows
Windows allow light and air into a building's interior spaces, as well
as views of the outside or from one room to another.

3. Stairways
Stairways are another common way for people to move from one room to
another.
Modifying Space

Buildings with more

sensory spaces are more
desirable, and it is one of
the architect's
responsibilities to
constantly seek out new
ways to stimulate the built
environment, both inside
and out. Ascertain that
these systems are
frequently designed to
meet usability
requirements.
