Making Space for a Better Quality of Living

Since the beginning of our existance, we have tried to manipulate the immediate physical space around us in which we live in for our life necessities. Firstly for shelter and security, then for reasons of functions of livelihood, and then for social status and aesthetics. The way we manipulate the space around us – intentionally planned or unintentionally created, by a single architect/planner/designer or by social consensus – develops through time in accordance to civilization, the development of science, the transformation of social systems, the improvement of
technology, and the changing moods of aesthetics. It is in man’s humane instincts to always have the need to improve and advance, creating something that is much better than the present, and improving the immediate space around us where we live is a must.
