Dr. Nihad Almughany- Design Principles- 2nd sem. 2009 4 2- WHAT IS ARCHITECTURAL SPACE ? * Architectural Space : - Defined area by two or three dimentional shapes or forms that articulate a volume of space surrounding it and generate a field of influence or territory with a specific shape, size and character. –Note: At Urban scale, we should consider whether a building should continue the existing fabric of a place, forms a completion for other buildings, define an urban space or wheather it might be appropriate for it to stand free as an object in space.
