As Tschumi says in his conversation with Enrique Walker, movement is an unbelievably

powerful device. It is indeed a great device to start defining spaces. The study of
different types of movement in Architecture also contributes to the definition of space.
Spatial perception is the ability to be aware of your relationships with the environment
around you (exteroceptive processes) and with yourself (interoceptive processes).

architecture space theory is either confined to (geometry of the space, its

exterior view, 3d view, interior view, space ratio) or the immediate psychological
perception of space.
The elements that define space have an hierarchy and affect us in same way. For
eex:
Geography- interaction with nature
Urban- Social Interaction
House- territory extended- wrt to bodily movements
Furniture- Acc. To size of body
Interaction of various levels constitute the existence of external space.

ARCHITECTURAL SPACEThe geometric elementspoint, line, plane, and volumecanbe

arranged to articulate and define space. In architecture,these fundamental elements become
linear columns andbeams, planar walls, floors, and roofs. A column marks a point in space and
makes it visible in threedimensions. Two columns define a spatial membrane through which
wecan pass. When supporting a beam, the columns delineate the edges ofa transparent plane.
A wall, an opaque plane, marks off a portion of amorphousspace and separates here from there.
A floor defines a field of space with territorial boundaries. A roof provides shelter for the volume
of space beneath it. Inarchitectural design, these elements are organized to give abuilding form,
differentiate between inside and outside, and define the boundaries of interior space.

Principles 7.1
Axis The axis is a line established by two points in space, about which forms
and spaces can be arranged in a regular or irregular manner. Because an axis is
essentially a linear condition, it has qualities of length and direction, and induces
movement and promotes views along its path. The notion of an axis can be
reinforced by defining edges along
Hierarchy The principle of hierarchy implies that in the most if not all
architectural composition, real difference exist among their form and space,
reflecting the degree of importance of these form and space, as well as the
functional, formal, and symbolic role they plan in the organization. For a form or
space to be articulate as being important or significant to an organization, it
must be made uniquely visible. The visual emphasis can be achieved endowing a
form or shape with: 1. Exceptional size 2. A unique shape, 3. A strategic location.

Rhythm Rhythm refers to any movement characterized by a patterned

recurrent of elements or motifs at regular or irregular intervals.
