Let us imagine a work of architecture at the moment of its emergence, merging design with construction, from the originating idea all the way to the keystone, but still without any imputation of a meaningful purpose, without aligning it with the existing location, and without any presuppositions concerning the time that may have elapsed, which is to say, in relation to a “ framework,” and in the absence of any internal or external “ padding,”1so to speak: at this point, it becomes conceivable that neither “ purpose,” nor “ place,” nor “ time” is among the attributes of a building, despite the fact that these factors have, more or less, influenced its realization as “ external” factors. The external factors determine the “inner” specifications – those concerning “materials,” “construction,” “form,” “function,” and “ space” – all of which emerge, in turn, as characteristic attributes of the building itself. The essential work of design and construction also consists, then, in transferring such ex-ternal conditions, by means of the idea, into the architecture, into the building, inscribing them onto its inner specifications.2 This is not, however, the time or place to investigate this process further or to reflect upon the significance of the design process, the idea, or this process of transfer: what is pursued here instead is the content of these basic concepts.In the discipline of architecture today, “ space” is perhaps among the most controversial concepts, and perhaps the most ambiguous, t oo – but why should this be the case? While in previous eras, disputes over the conceptual and contentual determination of “ space” were invested with claims to philosophical and physical authority, in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the discourse on space migrated into various disciplines, among them art history, sociology, phenomenology, and psychology, but the natural sciences in particular. Today, the implications of the term “ space” and the theoretical model that underlies it are still being negotiated and affirmed in diverse ways within the various disciplines. It appears that only a transdisciplinary history of the concept could provide insight here, one that would bring together the various “ evolutionary” threads of understanding and imagination, meaning and content, and theoretical models and synesthetic perception together in a nuanced way. With the spatial turn in the cultural and social sciences that began in the late 1980s, and also with the succeeding revival of an architectural and theoretical discourse on space, spaces, and spatiality3 around the turn of the millennium, a disciplinary differentiation of concep-tual terminology has become evident.
