Space Architecture

Physical space has impact. This is a core tenant of traditional architecture. Research indicates that the spaces we occupy account for 30% of our overall human experience regardless of the type of space, such as an office, home, or commercial space. 

How a space is specifically shaped, organized, or utilized, will communicate a set of values. 

A given space can generate an opportunity or it can fail to create one. 

An intentionally defined space becomes a container, holding and delivering an intended experience and function. 

Spaces are capable of resonating with people in both positive and negative ways. 

A space can engender comfort, order, clarity, and simplicity but it is also capable of hosting a chaotic experience of eclectic complexity like Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium, whatever the architect of the space is looking to create. 

Intention and care should be applied to space and the structures you put into it as they determines flow, interactions, and experiences, both internal and external to that space. 

Keep in mind that space is more than the sole dimension of the physical world. Space impacts all five senses and those senses are primary influencers shaping the social, emotional, and psychological experience. 

Architecting spaces where there is human interaction and experience involves a recognition that it’s an entire ecosystem that needs to be designed with these things in mind.
