Before answering your question we need to understand what the space and place means.

The space is something abstract without any meaning which is a basic tool of architecture. Architectural space created by carving space out of space by using various tools, such as geometry, colours, and shapes. While the place is a space with meaning and dimensions created by people's and there activities.

Therefore, to transfer space to place link to attracted of people to a certain piece of space through meaning.

Dear Akram J. Al-Akkam , i can see you ask some very fundamental, but also very difficult to answer questions.

About the one in this thread ; How to design spaces that become places. I agree with Rand H.M. Agha first you need to specify space and place. how you think they differ. I think the book by Canter 'the psychology of place' can be very helpful in that distinction. also the work of Marc Augé and his work on non-places. Their work has interested and inspired me.

I am not a specialist in 'place-making' research. So I will leave the tips on those studies to those who are. Though I do think it is important to also consider designing places as a process i which you can include different stakeholders who can contribute to making a place rather than just a space.

good luck.

I would start quoting Aldo van Eyck for this:

"Whatever space and time mean, place and occasion mean more. For space in our image is place, and time in our image is occasion."

There is no true or definitive answer to your question as needs change as the designer's knowledge and available tools.

“Coherence is the virtue of imbeciles”, said Oscar Wilde; “todo cambia” sang Mercedes Sosa; “the constancy of change”, wrote Amos Rapoport.

Specifically answering to your question I would say designers can try their best.

I agree with you Rand H.M. Agha

The place exists when we add associated meaning to the space.

It is necessary to determine the semantics of these concepts. This will fill the phenomenon of the cultural component. However, the assessment of a phenomenon in a person’s mind is subjective. Therefore, the formation of the space-time continuum will depend not only on real actions, but also on our perception of the actions themselves and their outcome.

Architects and Urban Designers change spaces into places with the use of any thing like ice and bamboo.....

Good evening Dr Al-Akkam

In response to your question, please note that the UK Government just launched earlier this month the "National Design Guide: Planning Practice Guidance for Beautiful, Enduring and Successful Places": https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/835212/National_Design_Guide.pdf

You may find the guidance useful and provide some insight on the current UK approach to placemaking.

Vladimir Ladinski

We can change spaces into places through associate meaning.

Urban design is essential in creating community identity. It effective planning in the widest sense, and it can help to deliver better public services. It also helps to achieve value for money in new developments, and to make good use of scarce resources.
