  • More about Architecture: Changing Spatial Transitions Between Context, Construction and Human Activities


Architecture is the space created for human activities, shaped by contextual difficulties and opportunities, and is a deterministic process of carving out and against the context.

Architecture is the creation of spaces designed for human activities, driven by the fundamental necessity to locate food and water within a broader spatial context. Throughout human history, individuals have adapted and overcome various contextual challenges as they explored the Earth. Instead of adapting to these constraints, humanity has sought to transform the context to align with their activities. Rather than perceiving context as a limitation, humanity has viewed it as a spatial environment brimming with opportunities for intellectual interaction and the potential to overcome limitations. Consequently, humanity has established its own contextual bubble, standing in contrast to the broader context it inhabits.

The central idea of the book is that architecture is the deliberate carving of spaces against and within the context, resulting in a deterministic process. This understanding emphasizes the dynamic interplay between architecture and its surroundings, where the spatial arrangement and design shape the way individuals interact and engage with their environment. By understanding the relationship between architecture and context, architects can create spaces that are not only functional but also meaningful and impactful.

In conclusion, architecture is the deliberate creation of spaces for human activities, shaped by the interplay between context and design. Through the transformation of context, humanity has sought to expand the possibilities and boundaries of human existence. By understanding the deterministic nature of architecture, architects can create spaces that are not only functional but also meaningful and impactful, contributing to the betterment of society and the human experience.
