Space

Space is the three-dimensional extent in which objects exist and have relative positions. It is often conceived as having three linear dimensions, though modern physics views it as part of a four-dimensional spacetime continuum. There is philosophical disagreement over whether space is an entity, a relationship between entities, or part of a conceptual framework. Space architecture designs and builds inhabited environments in outer space, addressing physiological, psychological, and sociological needs as well as technical requirements. It aims to holistically understand all factors affecting design success. Much work has focused on designing space stations, ships, and surface bases for space agencies like NASA. Urban space structures cities similarly to how interior space structures rooms and corridors. Squares are open spaces

Space

is the boundless, three-dimensional extent in which objects


and events occur and have relative position and direction.[1]
Physical space is often conceived in three linear
dimensions, although modern physicists usually consider it,
with time, to be part of the boundless four-dimensional
continuum known as spacetime. In mathematics one
examines 'spaces' with different numbers of dimensions and
with different underlying structures. The concept of space
is considered to be of fundamental importance to an
understanding of the physical universe although
disagreement continues between philosophers over whether
it is itself an entity, a relationship between entities, or part
of a conceptual framework.

Space architecture
in its simplest definition, is the theory and practice of
designing and building inhabited environments in outer
space.[1] The architectural approach to spacecraft design
addresses the total built environment, drawing from diverse
disciplines including physiology, psychology, and
sociology as well as technical fields. Like architecture on
Earth, the attempt is to go beyond the component elements
and systems and gain a broad understanding of the issues
that affect design success.[2] Much space architecture work
has been in designing concepts for orbital space stations
and lunar and Martian exploration ships and surface bases
for the world's space agencies, chiefly the National
Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
Urban space
Urban space has been structured in similar laws to interior
space. For example, in the category of interior space, we
would be talking about the corridor and the room.
Similarly, square and the street are the basic elements of
the urban space. The only difference is the dimensions of
walls which bound them and by the patterns of function and
circulation which characterise them. In brief descriptions,
square is produced by the grouping of houses around an
open space and the street is a product of the spread of a
settlement once houses have been built along the available
space.
The term ‘urban space’ can be simply described as external
space in town. It is seen as open, unobstructed space for
movement in the open air, with public, semi public and
private zones. Furthermore, the ‘concept of urban space’ is
to designate all types of space between buildings in towns
and other localities as urban space. If we take the aesthetic
criteria into consideration, every urban space has been
organized according to its socio-political and cultural
attitudes.
