47 Spaces enclosed by building elements ( fl oors, walls, ceilings, roofs ) are the essential raw materials of interior design. Once a proper comprehension of the job has been reached through the process of brief taking and design analysis, it is necessary to understand the space. ere are two diff erent aspects of the space that are worthy of our a ention; fi rstly, the spatial relationships that exist between the enclosed volume and the building elements that form the enclosure, and secondly, the construction of those building elements. As with other parts of the design process, you should not view the job of ge ing to grips with the space as separate and distinct from other tasks. As your design evolves over time, so will the spatial relationships that exist within the project. ey will change and develop, and it may be necessary to revisit and revise your understanding of how they work. is chapter looks at how you can begin to read spaces through the use of drawings and models, and also at the wider use of drawing in the design process.
