Twelfth International Conference on The Constructed Environment

Abstract

Space truly becomes a place not merely because of the built and the unbuilt that design it, but also because of the way its users use it, behave around it, interact with it, and interact with each other in it. This paper explores space that surrounds every individual, in which an individual exists, interacts and performs, is known as “Human Space”. Organization of the built environment around the users within their human space is known as “Spatial Order” which is the key to formulation of non-verbal communication. Non verbal communication refers to the body language an individual adopts in order to convey a message to the fellow users of the space. This non-verbal language subsequently becomes the basis of verbal communication that lays the foundation of human behavior within a particular spatial order.
