Man has been seeking his sheter as a space for protection of his life against enemy and nature outside since prehistorical time.
Space is basically formed by the relationship between an object and a human being who perceives it.
Architectural space is made of some kind of frame, and interior space is essencial like a bowl as a functional point. whereas exterior space is important as a easthetic point of view, as well as structural.
Generally speaking, interior architectural space is delimited by three planes; floor, wall. and ceiling, whereas exterior space in architecture is created by delimiting nature.
Exterior space is seperated from nature by a frame, and is not nature itself, which extends infinitely. then is basically concerned with the frame itself, and definetely it is matter of nature, garden, block plan. and even community or city planning.
This paper is trying to study briefly space itself in architecture, inside and outside, collating the difference of architecture between Western and Oriental.
