Abstract
Nowadays, man is the medium of great issues, thus it's necessary to
study private relationships that could be found in the environment
created by architects and how they fit man and his needs to create
more suitable architectural spaces.
Architectural researches rarely
spoke about void directly; their theories focused on the physical
elements and structural motives of buildings regardless of the
preexistence of void in architecture. An architect should design in such
a way to create the void surrounding him in the first place, not the
physical formulas that would hold formal meaning.
Few information were dedicated to study architectural voids and their
specifications in particular, wherein it is so wide and comprehensive
field, especially when we take its gradual consequent scales in
consideration. City voids are formed to fit city scale (level), residential
voids are formed to fit neighborhood scale and private voids are
formed to fit home scale.
Thus, it's necessary to clear the importance of void and analyze it in
order to conceive it fully as a fundamental base in architectural design
process.
