Space

What is a space? The concept of space can mean many things. A space can be a building, a room, a volume, a feeling, an energy, or a memory. We build walls, ceilings, roofs, floors, but these are all only building elements, which on their own may provide shelter, but do not create space. Our job as architects is to not only provide shelter, but to create these spaces for people. Spaces demarcate our relationship to them and in them, and understanding their meaning and what they are made of is the key to establishing our awareness of, and relationship to, the physical world.

“Space is the breath of art.”
- Frank Lloyd Wright

“There are moments of existence when time and space are more profound, and the awareness of existence is immensely heightened.”
- Charles Baudelaire
