What is Architectural Space | Architecture 101 Series | All Things Architecture

There's a lot of fancy jargon used in architecture, and probably the most used or, possibly, overused words is "space." You've probably heard people say something such as, "I love this space." It's usually on an episode of House Hunters. But what does that actually mean? What is architectural space? Where does our understanding of space come from? And what are some examples of well designed spaces? We're going to explore all of that and more on our first episode of Architecture 101.

Space is a disguised word for freedom. Thats why we ask space in a relationship sometimes when what we actually want is freedom. Human are drawn to providing architecture to envelope space, to establish some kind of a control, people sometimes pretend to want freedom but in fact they want somebody tell them what to do. They want a sense of security. Architecture played a great role in our society by shaping our lives and culture simply by how it made us feel within a space.

Thanks man. This encourages me to wish to explore architecture...if you think about it, there are so many places to see! Someone once told me that the superpower we have as architecture students allows us into spaces simply by saying, "I'm an architecture student and I wish to observe this space".

SPACE...The interior volume you enter and do not want to exterior space you would like to behold always...

I was surprised to learn that in landscaping and gardening, outdoor spaces are broken down into “rooms” too, seen either as an extension or a separation from the building

Interesting concepts. In marketing, shop designers talk about atmospherics and the servicescape to describe the impact of space on consumer behaviour. In religious studies, the concept of sacred space is quite well developed.

Does architectural theory relate to these other subject areas?

Nice video however you could have also provided examples of more ancient buildings how they used space not only modern ones. Also there is no scientific evidence to state that modern architecture makes us feel better and good.

[nasserkachlan]

Hey bro can we have the resources… specially the research paper of Andreas the Brazilian researcher

[johnsola]

next time you mention a weird name, pls show it in your video, I cant spell just by saying it. the augutus part

Nice beginning but rather amateur with several errors; pre WWII all architecture for the last ten thousand years or so, naturally followed our binocular brains assigning an axis to every space and to every piece of stuff defining that space both inside and out because that is the most efficient way to process the information — why we like symmetry and balance of form — all as taught by the Beaux-Arts — the baby thrown out with the bathwater of ornamentation.
