Shaping Space

Shaping space refers to the idea that the way we perceive and interact with our environment influences how that environment is organized and experienced. For example, the design of cities, buildings, or interior layouts can guide movement, behavior, and social interactions within a space. By intentionally designing spaces—through layout, features, and organization—we can shape people's experiences, making environments more functional, comfortable, or inspiring. Essentially, shaping space involves thoughtfully creating environments that align with desired human activities and experiences.
