Abstract
The space is composed of physical surfaces that shape it. But its actual form
transforms continuously and becomes perceived differently.
When the architect designs a space, his/her work depends greatly on the
physical dimensions that are easy to manipulate. But when s/he succeeds to build
the space, slhe discovers that the users experience the space very differently than
what slhe had in mind.
The perceived space is a very different space than the physical built space. We
see a space in its three dimensional physical state; but we never just see it as the
masses and solids and the vacuum in-between; we also have other impressions
that give us a whole image of the space.
There are other dimensions that help forming the real space that we see. We
can say that some of them are physical (light, wind, sound, furniture ... etc) and
others are non-physical (social, cultural, historical ... etc). One of the most important
dimensions is ’Time”. Time exists non-physically, and can only be understood
psychologically.
Time affects the perception of space.
In my attempt to search and re-search for the problem of space, and its
perceived form; I would like to clarify the subject of my research.
My main aspect in my research is the architectural space, the interior space the
one that envelopes the human being. But for a better understanding of that
item I had to study the phenomena of perception. With a deeper interest, I explored
the non-physical dimension ”Time” that I believe to be the most interesting and the
most powerful dimension in transforming the physical space into the perceived
one.
In this manner, I had to explain the physical-Architectural space independently in
the first chapter, and then I went on to the study of perception and spaceperception in the next chapters. Finally I introduced the ’’Time’’ factor as an existing
- but hidden - dimension.
I concluded my research in a case study that was carefully chosen to show the
significance of the time-dimension in differentiating between the physical space
and the perceived one
