1. Architecture: The Story of Space and its Transformation to a Home 1.1. The Interpretation of Everyday Life

The primary requirement for an architect to become a good designer is to be able to sensitively observe and interpret the everyday life; the acts and physical condi-tions which constitute a story of space. Discovery and interpretation of the space constitute the creative design process. Those who can interpret life, discover the space. Space can be defined as the interac-tion of acts involving life and the physical environment. In areas that have authentic spatial values a sense of wholeness is experienced. Through the change of space the beginning or ending of wholeness is noticed. When physical environment changes (buildings and nature) the acts also change. Just like cities, districts of the cities and neighborhoods of the districts also are holistic spaces with different identities. When we add villages, towns and countries into this mosaic, we can make sense of the delight that curious travelers and readers of travel books feel when they experience new environs (Hillier and Hanson 1984, 82-142). Within the influential area of holistic spaces, there might be subsections with their own spatial integrity. Parks located among buildings, ghettos that are different from the structural and operational texture of the surrounding areas and certain buildings are examples of such subsec-tions (Lynch 2011, 51-87). If buildings that differ in their physical attributes from the overall texture, also serve the larger com-munity (places of worship, culture, sports and his-tory) they augment their influence particu-larly during moments of use (stations, market places etc). Subsections that come to life through the amplification of sound and smell (traffic, market places) exist in relation to time and are temporal “subspaces ” (Dalton and Zimring 2003). Questioning the concept of spatial wholeness exposes concepts such as Inside-Outside/Domination / Entry to the Unknown/Metamorphosis-Transformation/Transition/Border. The awareness of wholeness, the sense of root-edness and belonging appear and exist along borders where differentiation is seen and felt. All transitional area
