space, intimation, facade, filter, porosity, transparencyEvery person is encircled by space, perceived as his or her
own personal spatial sphere. In various ways, we are continu-
ally surrounded by such a spatial sphere. Martin Heidegger
expressed this as follows: ‘Just as I cannot jump over my own
shadow, because it jumps forward ahead of me, I am unable
to wander through the primary spatial environment within
which I continually exist, because I carry it along with me
constantly, slicing it, so to speak, out of the objective space of
the world.’ (1979, 221) The extension and form of this space
are closely connected with sensory perception. It does not
simply coincide with the visual field or with another sensory
realm, but is also dependent upon various types of intention-
ality. The extension of this space and its orientation extends
from the individual’s immediate spatial requirements, all the
way to the sphere of social space. These various ranges cor-
respond, more or less, with built spatial delimitation.
In order to characterize the relationship between archi-
tectural space and the personal space of occupants, we must
distinguish between various ranges or extensions of personal
space: the purely physical demands made on a spatial volume
can be described as its displacement by the human body andPedestal
