“Space is the three-dimensional area (i.e. Length/depth, breadth/width and height); we use indoors or outdoors as the case may be. Any space which has been carved or divided by means of walls, enclosed by means of a roof or left semi open by a pergola, made aesthetically appealing by using colours, material and geometry, made to evoke various feelings in a human is an architectural space. Healthy space is the basis for planning, designing and creating sustainable communities that encourage healthy living. Healthy Spaces and Places aims to encourage the development of built environments that provide opportunities for physical activity and other health-related activities.”
“Considering the current Pandemic situation, how best can you reform your space. Should we all the time move around with covered face in order to keep us safe.
