Abstract

The relationship between internal and external spaces in built environment has been a subject of study and analysis in the history of architecture. Attitudes as opposite as the ‘sealed envelope’ and the ‘transitional space’ are forming the relationships between internal and external spaces as well as the nature of space outside our buildings and the relationship between public and private realms. The use of architectural elements with historical background traced in traditional architecture that have survived to our days is more likely to result in a more sustainable future development. This paper investigates the use of passive transitional space as a connecting element between the inside and outside of our buildings through history and different climates. It demonstrates that the technique of the transitional space can be traced at different times and different climates and has been used to passively relate internal and external environments softening the differences between the two. While examples included are diverse with regard to time of construction and climatic conditions their purpose and role is the same in all cases examined. The paper concluded that the use of transitional spaces between internal and external environments has been applied through history and in different climates and can effect the way we control internal environments as well as the way we relate to nature and possibly to our society. A design mechanism that has been traced through history and is still surviving today and its underlying philosophy may be worth examining further as to inform contemporary design decisions toward the future of sustainable development and architectural thought.
