Abstract

In a corporate world where commercial ideology has been defining global relationships, human decisions and actions are increasingly based on aspects such as marketability and profit generation based on the logistics of the production mechanism concerned. This process sometimes undermines the initial originating need for the production of the product, service or facility, which is the satisfaction of specific human needs. Following the prevailing attitude, the art of architecture and the process of building places for communities are becoming a part of an industrial process. Compartmentalisation of knowledge is vastly applied and the disassociation of the knowledge fields and the professionals who operate within the system tends to transform the production of places to an automated process dictated by the logistics of quantitative measurable-only target values (microclimatic performance included). A more holistic knowledge of all aspects involved in making places and their interrelationships must inform the decisions of the building design professional. This paper refers to three ways humans historically relate themselves to nature as described in the work of Amos Rapoport demonstrating alternative relationships between humans and their environment, the inside and the outside. It draws the attention to the fact that the ‘symbiotic’ and the exploitative’ approaches are applicable in architecture and that each is generated by a different attitude in the way we are relating ourselves to the broader external and social environments as manifested by our architecture. It then uses built examples to suggest that connecting internal and external spaces is a matter of architecture and social reality rather than of technology.
