Organizational space, sometimes called organizational architecture, describes the influence of the spatial environment on the
space science which is concerned with the study of the universe
.
Spatial, physical and built environment
This research strand distinguishes three different
physical environment and the built environment
.
- Spatial environment: the total context in which humans in and around organizations function.
- Physical environment: all tangible physical entities in and around organizations.
- Built environment: that what is commonly understood as architecture and that what is permanently fixed to it.
Organizational-spatial cycle of change
The coherence between the organization and its spatial environment may be regarded as an interwoven
illness, such as with the sick building syndrome
(EPA, 1991), but it can also positively influence the vitality of people or the recovery after an operation (Ulrich, 1984). The performances can provoke managerial intervention. In turn, these interventions will change the contingencies, and by doing so, change the elements, relations, and properties of the conditions under which people function.
