USER REQUIREMENT AND

PERCEPTION OF SPACE
 USER REQUIREMENT
User represents primarily the end beneficiary of
the design or structure when finished, but it can
be expanded to include everyone involved in
the system, such as network and system
administrators and management. User
requirements are the basis of our main design.
User requirement is also considered as space
management or planning.
SPACE PLANNING is an in-depth analysis of
how physical space is used in structures. It
considers the purpose of spaces and who will
use them. Space planning is a process that
takes several steps, and it's an important
component for the work of interior designers
and architects.
User Requirement function is to serve as the
concept or reference for the design, as an
architect comes a great responsibility to meet
your clients expectation, the concept should be
accurate or fit to those who will use the
infrastructure.

 PERCEPTION OF SPACE
- Requires a thorough understanding of current
needs to successfully develop spaces just as
it needs visionary thinking to anticipate future
ones.
- A space too small might create an automat
feeling of suffocation, while a space too large
might create discomfort or immediate
excitement.
Implication to architectural Design:
Architecture, as the creator of space, is the one
to give physical form to this concept. This is
why before creating it, we must, first of all,
understand how we see space, how we
perceive it. Thus, the last decades can be
considered to have been an effervescent period
during which architects and psychologists alike
have been attempting to link architecture with
the psychology of the individual, - seen as the
user of these spaces.

Perception is the first step we take when
interacting with space. It is the interface,
our first contact with the surrounding
environment. This is why, in a study,
which is attempting to establish a
relationship between the individual and
their, environment, it becomes essential
to identify what perception really is and
how can this process influence our
interconnection with space - as users
and as designers, as well.
