• Resumen

  • Concepts of space in general and urban-architectural space in particular have been approached, during history, from different stances such as positivistic, phenomenological, ecological, social, political, etc. The epistemological positions have generated several spatial concepts that reveal the multiplicity of positions humans take on reality. They also reflect the tradition that precedes them and the zeitgeist that triggers them. Absolute spaces, relative space, phenomenological space, social space, virtual, discursive, conceived, representational space are only a few of many spatial notions that express their contemporaneity while nested in their tradition. Starting with the idea of human-space inseparability and the importance of the body in space conceptualization, notions of Outer, Inner, and Abstract space are presented, demonstrating the permanent interplay between tradition and innovation behind them. The three spatial concepts are analyzed from both traditional and contemporary angles and applied to urban-architectural discipline observation.These three perspectives generate an epistemological grid for urban-architectural observation, applied to the analysis of several urban-architectural pieces, and shown useful for its multileveled comprehension.
