- Social Space and Structuralism
- Abstract
- Social cohesion can only emerge where people are literally assembled. The spatial structures in a society make this possible. Creating these encompassing and coordinating constructions and structures for social and societal connections is one of the most significant aspects of architecture. A hallmark of structuralism is bringing together the universal and the individual, the general and the temporary and local. This dichotomy is also of value for the design of the environment. Good architecture emerges when architectonic means are used to bring about a social space that encompasses people and keeps them together.
