| | Cultural Studies of Architectural Space |
 | | Space is a concept that is central to many different areas of study and has varied meanings, ranging from totally abstract notions such as mathematical space, to physical ones such as astronomical space, to more earthly ones such as the expanse that surrounds us, to behavioral notions such as territorial space and personal space. |
 | | The notion of architectural space should also be understood to include structures of space, i.e., sets of spaces so interrelated to each other that the functions they serve extend through these spaces (Baykan and Pultar, forthcoming). |
 | | This process is cyclic; most spaces reach the end of their useful life due to some reason or other and, thereby, lead to a repetition of the cycle in the form of renovation, remodeling, re-adaptation of use or the generation of new spaces. |
