Outside space

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In architecture, outdoor space is a defined space that is not protected from the elements . “The outside space (...) is made up of the architectural space and the landscape area and extends to the settlement boundary. In the outer space "urban planning can be made functional and architectural perspective facades, passage spaces (house entrances, paths guides), housing-related open spaces (terraces, loggias, tenants' gardens) and collective open spaces differ (lawns, playgrounds, distance green). Seen can Hof , Place and Park be added .

The architectural exterior space, like the architectural interior space, is not the mere physical condition, but the subject matter and design space of particular architectural disciplines. The architectural design of the outdoor space results from the building section, the facade design, the lighting design, the garden and landscape architecture , the landscape planning and the urban planning . Ideally, an atmospherically favorable connection is created between the building, the outside space and the settlement landscape: “Outside spaces provide the physical framework in which processes of individual perception, experience and behavior and social life take place. The concept of the "atmospheric" also integrates the characteristics of physical space on the one hand and the reception of space by humans on the other. "

Comparable, but not congruent, the term open space is used in landscape planning and the term public space is used in urban planning .
