Abstract

Housing unit in the architectural setting represents a typical organization, constituting typical architectural setting of multiple similar or identical units. Architectural settings are most commonly differentiated depending on the position inside the building regarding floors, thus also establishing a social framework inside the architectural setting. Spatial and sociological levels of a unique housing area are overlapping and complementing each other, thus satisfying spatial comfort. Architectural setting is the fundamental social model towards housing area surfaces, where users satisfy their needs through the collective activities, thus achieving high quality of their participation in the narrow and broader urban unit. Apart from the inclusion, architectural unit needs to meet the individuality of housing unit through spatial and psychological boundaries.
