The problem of space in architecture raises the need to address the questions: what is space ? what is architecture? (…) [1]. Architecture is a part of space, and space is a part of architecture. In some simplification it can be assumed that an architectural object extracts a "quantity" of a larger space, of an infinite whole [1]. Nineteenth-century art historians formulated the definition of architecture, innovative at that time, as being "the art of shaping space" [2]. Architecture constructing an architectural object can limit and close space, and at the same time, through the closure, create a new kind of space.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
