Motivation for presentation
Recently initiated a debate on design
assessment and quality assurance Presentation motivated by need to
broaden discourse to design issues
Also by the observation of limited focus
on space and the sequential experienceof space in projects
Designed to motivate a debate ratherstake a position

Everything is somewhere

Concepts of Space NEWTON
Space and time as real things
Space and time as containers of infiniteextension or duration
Succession of natural events find a place within
them Distinguishes between absolute space, not
perceived by our senses an relative space asthe coordinate system

Concepts of Space LEIBNIX
Rejected the concept of absolute space
Viewed space as nothing but a systemof relationship between things existingat the same time
Space does not have an existence of itsown

Concepts of Space KANT
Space is neither absolute nor a productof the relationship between objects
Space belongs to the world of thought
It is something that can be spoken of
only from a human perspective andsubjective experience
Do animals perceive space?

Concepts of Space EINSTEIN
Rejected the concept of absolute space-time
Introduced the theory of relativity
Embodied in the theory of relativity is
the field theory of space based on theconcept offour-dimensional space-timecontinuum

theories of space to Architecture

Architecture and Space All are of direct relevance and application
in architectural design
Architecture is the simultaneousvisualization of the three ideas of space
Architecture as place
Architecture as 3-D coordinated spaces
Architecture as 4-D space-time continuum
Subjective experience influences the way
we interact with architectural spaces

Architecture and SpaceArchitects, of course, also have their
own fundamental issues or questionsabout space particularly in relation totheir design activity of creatingspace
Bernard Tschumi, an intellectualarchitect of our era has summarizedsome of these questions

Architecture and Space-
A view To stimulate debate on the role of space in
architecture, I will put forward some
perspectives on space and how it hasbeen/should be handled
The perspective is illustrated with
examples of how architects haveaddressed the nature of space in terms ofplace, 3-D coordinated spaces and 4-Dspace-Time continuum

Architecture and Space Architectural design is ultimately the
organization of space and activities
through the introduction of boundaries Space is the engine that creates the social
setting that makes architecture memorable
Boundaries define interior and exterior,
and within interiors, relationship andsequence of activities
Any particular setting for activities denotesa place in the building

Architecture and Space Movement is the key for the experience of
a facility
Movement allows for sequential experienceof 3-D coordinated spaces and formemorable experience of buildings
The quality of design is not determined by
how much you deconstruct your form butby your consideration of space as a settingfor activities and memorable experience

Architecture and Space Design for movement is a key factor in the
sensory experience of buildings
Successful design can only be achieved ifwe balance our consideration of form withemphasis on space and the experience ofbuildings
You can not be a good architect withconsidering space and the experience ofspace in design

you will discover the best possible

Architecture and spaceA city within anotherVisitors passing through the hall to the exhibition areas come immediately to theatrium, the real heart of the Museum and one of the most idiosyncratic features ofGehry's design, which has a sort of metal flower skylight at the top that allows astream of light to illuminate the warm, inviting space. From the Atrium, the visitor isgiven the opportunity to access a terrace covered by a canopy supported by a singlestone pillar. The canopy serves a function (better appreciated perhaps from the otherbank of the river, which offers observers an excellent view of the entire rear faade ofthe Museum) that is both protective and aesthetic at one and the same time. Thebroad flight of stairs that goes up to the sculptural tower, conceived as a device toabsorb and integrate the Puente de La Salve into the overall architectural scheme ofthe building, is also a public access way that connects pedestrians with the rest of the
city.Exhibition galleries are organized on three levels around the central atrium and areconnected by a system of curving walkways suspended from the roof, glass elevatorsand stair turrets. All in all, a spectacular vision that one critic has described as ametaphorical city, where the panels of glass that cover the elevator-well evoke thescales of a fish that leaps and spins, the walkways that climb the interior walls are likevertical motorways, and the plaster curves crowning the atrium suggest the moldedribbing of a drawing by Willem de Kooning. In short, a glimpse of artifice in
architectural design taken to its uttermost limits.
