We need our space (privacy)

How important is space in the society we live today? Or better still, how important is having your own space today?

There are many kinds of spaces, each with its peculiar rules and codes.

1. workspace
2. airspace
3. parking space
4. outer space
5. inner space
6. open space
7. recreational space
8. public space
9. limited space

People make many places into a private space when they want to get away from the madness of the modern world. Some of these places may sound as a refuge or an escape

• a bus or train station
• a movie theater
• a park
• a tiny room
• a car

The concept of space and the importance we give to it changes drastically when we live by ourselves and when we live with other people. The second requires putting up with the other person's habits and not making a big deal about it 

Crowded spaces are usually depressing. Take a subway car at rush hour. It usually looks like this:



Or like this


  
In situations like these we feel
like sardines in a can
like a cattle in a truck
smashed like potatoes.

It's sad to say but this is probably going to become more and more common, although most people can't imagine being in that kind of situation every day.


It leaves with only one option: Finding and Personalizing our own spaces
