Abstract
Person meets his shelter need finding spaces to hide in by the instincts such as feeling safe, being protected and so on. Besides the opening that was used for entrance and exit to the shelter, human had created voids on the shell in order to get light and air inside. The openings which are created firstly on surface and the second dimension turned out to be architectural elements defined such as windows and doors. In the architectural context the openings which are separating the spaces from each other are created in the third dimension; defined as structural openings. Through the historical process, with the development of space the openings have transformations and changes also. Being created on the surface of the space shell, they have roles with the main space and sub-spaces to relate with each other. Aim of the research is to be able to define the relations created between the spaces with the structural openings. Within the study, the forming new space examples will be cited and the mediary voids ensuring continuity and visual transitivity between these spaces will be hounded in the house spaces. The connection between the structural openings and the following relations will be researched through the spaces of Modern Architecture, Adolf Loos (1870-1930) spaces. Loos spaces different from the accustomed spaces were formed by the level differences and voids aim to get light inside, this shows his effort creating space within a space relation in his houses. According to this typology, the spaces are constructed successively and perpetually, and by means of these organized openings they communicate in each other.
Keywords: spatial opening, space within a space relation, Loos typology.
