Frequently Asked Questions
Q1 : What is the theory of spatial design?
A1 : Spatial design is a relatively new conceptual design discipline that crosses the boundaries of traditional design specialisms such as architecture, landscape architecture, landscape design, interior design and service design as well as certain areas of public arts.
