Space Information introduces students to the different types, experiences, meanings and representations of space in interior architecture. Rather than treating space only as geometry, floor plans and dimensions, the course asks how space is felt, used, remembered, controlled, shared and imagined. Films, documentaries and visual culture are used as the main teaching tools, alongside the observation and analysis of real interior and architectural spaces. The course builds a working vocabulary for spatial analysis, moving from every day, familiar spaces toward more complex spatial conditions - public and private space, domestic space, institutional space, social space, utopian and dystopian space, heterotopia, transitional and liminal space, psychological and emotional space, and virtual and future space - with less emphasis on heavy philosophical theory.
