Synopsis

Shaping space is the most fundamental task of the architect. Creating architecture always involves simultaneously working in and with space. Buildings are placed in relation to each other, giving rise to new spatial relationships; existing spaces are remodelled, new spaces are formed and, by virtue of the materials used, lent certain atmospheres - one might also say each radiates a special mood, has its own character. This publication seeks to intensify the architectural discussion on space.
