Space as Receptor, Instrument or Stage: Notes on the Interaction Between Spatial and Social Constellations

Abstract: Acknowledging the need for a shared scholarly paradigm capable of explaining the interaction between spatial and social constellations, this paper presents a model which identifies three important ways to conceptualize this interaction: space seen as receptor, as instrument or as stage. The paper reviews the relevant literature from architectural history and theory, positioning it within a broader framework that also addresses material from anthropology, sociology and cultural geography. It points to similarit… Show more

“…Designers and planners should consider even more factors in their co-productive practice, beyond the user, participants in the process of space can be various elements of environment, technology, and material, which influence not only the reality and physicality of space, but also how it will be interacted with by each participant in the spatial process and thus each iteration of the space's dynamic future. Heynen (2013) discusses different ways in which the dialogue between spatial form and social processes are negotiated and presents ways in which they can be conceptually understood. He points out that the spatial disciplines understand (and misunderstand) this elusive relationship from discrepant perspectives, methodologies and objectives.…”

“…After studying the state of the art, it is possible to identify some studies in the context of the HBSA methods, which examine and present solutions for: i) the development of new methods to assess and rate the sustainability of healthcare buildings, as in (Mateus and Bragança, 2011;Ali and Al Nsairat, 2009); ii) the environmental criteria used in Table 1 Relationship between the core categories of HBSA methods and EBD strategies (based on (Castro et al, 2014;Baum et al, 2009b)). Environmental Assessment tools, as in (Haapio and Viitaniemi, 2007;Cotter et al, 2014); iii) the critical issues related to the assessment of the sustainability of healthcare facilities, as in (Stevanovic, 2015); iv) the specific space design concerns and special requirements of healthcare buildings, as in (Heynen, 2013); and the paradigm of designing healthcare buildings, bearing in mind the EED and EBD concepts, as in (Guenther, 2009). As a contribution to the development of state of the art studies, this paper aims at discussing and presenting a list of Sustainable-Effective Design (SED) indicators to be used in the development of a new HBSA method in the Portuguese context.…”

“…On one hand, it emerges from the so-called 'spatial turn' taken in (especially anthropological) social sciences, but also in art, cultural studies, geography, and sociology, explicitly underpinning the importance of 'space' in dealing with social and cultural phenomena (Walf & Arias 2008). Space, here, is mostly rendered as a rather neutral receptor of cultural practices, or as a background for social activities, while seldom acknowledging the agency of physical constellations or the way they facilitate or disturb particular social and cultural uses (Heynen 2013). Instead, "the focus is most often on social mechanisms and cultural processes that play out in space and that leave their marks on spatial configurations" (Heynen 2013, p. 344).…”
