The space of human needs

Abstract

Considering man the centre of the universe, the only reference system, all aspects of life grows with it, nothing is static. Starting from this premise the study aims to answer this question: What should we consider the act of conception of space given the characteristics of perception? The study argument is constructed mainly from a psychological point of view through perception characteristics and its affective factors, and never the less through the hierarchical model of human needs that Maslow developed. The scientific literature examines the qualities of space that make it close to the individual and the space features compliant with the pyramid of human needs. These can be summarized in five major generic categories image, readability, mobility, adaptability, and complexity. By joining and combining studies underpinning this paper the author seeks to develop a set of steps necessary in the conception act.
