THE SPACE USED = THE SPACE AVAILABLE = THE SPACE NEEDED
PEOPLE - ALONG THE HISTORY AND ACCORDING TO THEIR NATURAL INSTINCT FOR SURVIVAL- ALWAYS REACT ACCORDING TO THEIR NEEDS YET THERE ARE MANY FACTORS THAT PRODUCE AN INFINIT RANGE OF POSSIBILTIES. WE HAVE SELECTED A NUMBER OF CASE STUDIES OF TWO DIFFERENT HOUSING TYPOLOGIES ( APPARTEMENT BUILDINGS AND COMPLEX APPARTEMENT BUILDINGS ) IN ORDER TO FIND OUT WHETHER PEOPLE ARE BUILDING ACCORDING TO THE SPACE THEY NEED OR IT IS ALWAYS ABOUT HOW MUCH SPACE AVAILABLE FOR THEM.

due its constructional and functional innovations, as well as its ornamental and decorative solutions, which broke with the architectural styles of his day.
For Gaudi, La Pedrera represented the most advanced approach to a building on a chamfered street corner in the Example in Barcelona. It consists of two blocks of apartments, each with its own entrance, structured around two large interconnected courtyards with ramps down to the garage for vehicles.

Green Core is a small residential building set in the Adaiiya neighborhood in Kuwait City. The project is composed of 6 apartments at about approximately 350 sqm each, and is accessed through an open core that divides the plot into two defined areas: front and rear. This core void is the key element in the design of the residence. It allows for natural light to filter in through the mesh and into the interior spaces as it provides the dense complex with a sizeable open space.

The surroundings of this apartment are defined as a residential area and semi-industrial area in urban planning and their height is suppressed to low by road diagonal limitation and sun shadow regulation. In this sense, the void above which nobody can occupy physically is kept as a secondary product of this regulation. In Japan, the city is always going to be renewed by the buildings scrapped and built repeatedly. On the other hand, the void in the sky keeps to exist from the past to present and it is expected to be continued to the future.

Mies van der Rohe designed the House 1-4 of Weissenhof Estate . It is a four-storey residential block of four appartement buildings. The skeleton structure enabled Mies to achieve his objective of designing flexible ground plans for his apartments. The only fixed points in his design (as determined by the service installations) were the kitchen, the bathroom and the toilet. The remaining areas had adjustable walls, allowing residents to subdivide them as they saw fit. Mies said that he had chosen this design to accommodate people’s changing needs, their expectations concerning apartments and their related desire for maximum freedom in designing their own interiors.

CONCLUSION
HOW MUCH SPACE DO WE NEED ? ARE WE BUILDING OUR HOMES WITH TOO MUCH SPACE AND NO FUNCTION JUST BECAUSE WE HAVE ENOUGH LAND TO BUILD ON OR ARE WE JUST FITTING OURSELVES AND OUR FAMILIES IN THE SPACE WE NEED TO BREATH! THIS IS SOMETHING WE CAN WITNESS A LOT. IN MENA REGION AND MIDDLE EAST WE HAVE ENOUGH LANDS TO BUILD VERY LUXURIOUS WIDE HOMES AND TOWER COMPLEXES BUT IN PLACES THAT DON’T HAVE THAT MUCH LAND AND WE START TO CALCULATE EACH CM OF OUR HOME AND ONLY THEN WE START BUILDING A 6 STORY BUILDING WITH 280M2 BUILT UP AREA AND THIS IS THE CASE IN JAPAN. SO IS THE SPACE THAT WE HAVE THE MAXIMUM LIMIT OR THAT IS THAT REALLY WHAT WE NEED ?

cities. Almost 200 of its cities have a population of at least 100,000 (but fewer than one million), which makes it easy to see why Japan is one of the most populous countries on earth. To better understand the cities of Japan, it is important to know how they are categorized. Designated cities have a minimum population of 500,000 and have been designated under an order by the Cabinet of Japan. Most of the functions performed by a prefectural government are designated to the city itself, and this includes roles in public education, sanitation and urban planning. The next class of cities in Japan is the core city. Core cities must have a population of 300,000 and an area that exceeds 100 square kilometers. These cities have many of the functions of designated cities with some exceptions. In some cases, cities with populations between 200,000 and 300,000 may qualify as a core city. Finally, special cities have a minimum population of 200,000 and is responsible for some functions performed by a prefectural government. However, these are a subset of responsibilites carried out by core cities. 13 Over 1 Million 191 100,000 to 1 Million 540 10,000 to 100,000 JAPAN Population : 126,476,461 Area : 377,915 Km2 Density : 347 People/Km2 Cities : 744 Capital : Tokyo Population of Cities in Lebanon (2020) Located at the intersection of the Mediterranean west and Arabian east, Lebanon's culture has been shaped by its diverse influences, and has been referred to as the Switzerland of the East' and the Paris of the Middle East'. Beirut is Lebanon's capital and largest city, as well as its political and economic center. Unusually, no official population census has been carried out in Lebanon since 1932, but most recent estimates suggest that the population of Beirut is between around 940,000 and 1.3 million, with as many as 2.2 million in the greater metropolitan area. Beirut is one of the oldest cities in the world, and has been inhabited for more than five thousand years. The northern city of Tripoli is the second-largest city in Lebanon, with an approximate population of 730,000. Tripoli overlooks the Mediterranean Sea, and the Palm Islands –the only islands in Lebanon and a protected area for rare turtles, seals and birds – lie off the coast of the city. The mountainous city of Zahlé is the third-largest in the country. It is known for its moderate and pleasant climate and beautiful scenery, and is home to a predominantly Greek Catholic population of 120,000 residents knowns as Zahlawis. 2 Over 1 Million 4 100,000 to 1 Million 8 10,000 to 100,000 World Population Review

This country, which is the 158th largest in the world, shares borders with Iraq and Saudi Arabia and its cities are spread across six governorates. The governorates are divided further into distinct areas known as districts. Kuwait does not have any major cities that have surpassed the one million person milestone when it comes to population. Its largest city is Al Ahmadi, which has a 2016 population of over 600,000. This isn't the only city that has a population exceeding 100,000 -- there are three more, although none are quite close to reaching the population of Al Ahmadi or even hitting the 500,000 milestone. Kuwait has 16 additional cities that each have populations between 10,000 and 100,000 people that help round out the total population figures for this country. The majority of Kuwait's residents live in its developed cities and areas, with only 2 percent accounting for the rural population. Kuwait's total population has increased 25 times since 1950. With high growth rates continuing due to natural increases and high birth rates, the cities and the country as a whole are expecting to see continued growth in the years to come. However, government officials and experts have predicted that this may have a negative impact on the country's sustainable development. Only time will tell exactly how much Kuwait's cities will grow and what the overall impact on the country will be. 0 Over 1 Million 4 100,000 to 1 Million 16 10,000 to 100,000 World Population Review KUWAIT Population : 5,620,000 Area : 17,818 Km2 Density : 200 People/Km2 Cities : 20 Capital : Kuwait City زايدالشيخللبيع EGР 290,000 الجديدةالقاهرةمدينةللبيع EGР 650,000 نصرمدينةللبيع EGР 1,500,000 Population of Cities in Turkey (2020) As far as size goes, Turkey is one of the largest in the world when it comes to both the area of the country and the number of inhabitants that live within it. Turkey is the 37th largest country in the world by size and is the 19th largest by area. As one would expect from a country that is more populated than the majority of the world, this country also has some of the largest cities and metropolitan areas in the world. Turkey's most populous city is Istanbul which has a population of over 11 million. Not only is it the largest city in Turky, but it is the 8th largest city proper in the entire world. Turkey's next largest city, Ankara has just 3.5 million inhabitant -- a far cry from the 11 million people in Turkey but still a respectable number that contributes to this country's huge population. Turkey also has four additional cities with populations exceeding one million, 72 cities with populations ranging between 100,000 and 1,000,000, and 424 cities with populations of at least 10,000. The majority of Turkey's inhabitants live within its urbanized cities, with just 27% of the total population living in rural areas. Turkey has experienced steady growth over the years, and while some of the larger cities like Istanbul have been handling growth well, other major cities like Bagcilar have struggled because of illegal building and poor planning by the government, leading to narrow streets, rows of residential buildings crammed with residents and other effects seen from a lack of planning. Turkey is expected to see continued growth into the future, and only time will tell if its largest cities will be able to keep up. 6 Over 1 Million 76 100,000 to 1 Million 427 10,000 to 100,000 World Population Review
