“…At one hand of the spectrum, the definitions that mostly focus on tangible characteristics are well represented in several disciplinary fields (see for example Pelletier, 2008; Smith, 2008). Most of these definitions (Almodóvar-Melendo and Cabeza-Lainez, 2018; Farjami, 2016; Hatzfeld, 2000) also rely on the solid-void connexion as highlighted by Suryawinata et al. (2018, p. 4) “It takes solid space to make it a meaning.” and Hatzfeld (2000, p. 11) “[ …] In fact, an empty space is never thought–and never represented–on its own, but always in relation to a full one.…”

“…Links with emotions (García and Esmeralda, 2017; Goulding et al. , 2018; Nieuwenhuis and Nassar, 2020), ephemeral or transitional places (Sebregondi, 2012; Suryawinata et al. , 2018; Virilio, 2011) and religion (Almodóvar-Melendo and Cabeza-Lainez, 2018; Baslouh, 2020; Diep, 2017; Farjami, 2016) add another layer to the intangible features.…”

“…the city, the duality solid-void seems to remain an effective method to analyse and understand the urban fabric, when analysing the construction of cities (Almod ovar-Melendo and Cabeza-Lainez, 2018). Some even argue that "void-space" cannot stand alone; void requires solid space to have existence (Almod ovar-Melendo and Cabeza-Lainez, 2018; Suryawinata et al, 2018). In such analysis, the investigation often focused on the features of a void, specifically on what the void is and what it is not.…”

“…How to conceive a city or a building seems intrinsically related to the void, as stated by Pinto (2020, p. 46): “the notion of emptiness is fundamental in order to understand the origin of space in architecture.” Often defining the void as an existing space in the city, the duality solid-void seems to remain an effective method to analyse and understand the urban fabric, when analysing the construction of cities (Almodóvar-Melendo and Cabeza-Lainez, 2018). Some even argue that “void-space” cannot stand alone; void requires solid space to have existence (Almodóvar-Melendo and Cabeza-Lainez, 2018; Suryawinata et al. , 2018).…”

“…Parallels have also been drawn with language. For example, Suryawinata et al. (2018) suggested that if there were no voids in a city, one could neither create nor move, in the same way that words could no longer be understood if they had no space in between each of them.…”

PurposeThe aim of this article is to understand the definitions, trends and gaps currently existing in the literature regarding the concept of void in the built environment.Design/methodology/approachThe method used for this article is based on a bilingual narrative literature review, the authors being fluent both in French and English. The advantage of any literature review is that it allows researchers to gather and analyse existing academic literature on a specific subject. The chosen technique gives a thorough understanding of the study and helps in identifying research gaps. The literature review was sequential, online and used ScienceDirect, Scopus and Sage Knowledge as databases.FindingsThere are three main findings regarding this literature review. The first shows that the void is lacking consensus regarding its definition and attributes, yet this is unanimously considered as an existing space in the city. The second finding shows that voids are talking to our emotions and perceptions and more studies could investigate a new planning/design approach in taking this into consideration. At last, the third findings shows that there are some gaps that need to be further researched, such as the difference between Western and Eastern cultures to use voids in architecture.Originality/valueIn compiling 35 articles focussing on the void, this article proposes a valuable source of knowledge regarding this topic, as well as delineates new research directions.
