Studies in the rapidly developing neuroscience field in the early 21st century provide knowledge about the sensory stimuli the body receives from the environment. From a neurobiological perspective, loops and feedback are interconnected in the brain with matching internal sensory and motor maps. Neuroscience can help architects and neuroscientists design future spaces by interpreting experience and spatial transformation. Through neuroscience principles, space's network structure can be explored. It can enable the space, having a network structure, to transmit dynamically in its structural system. In this research, space’s possibility as a self-generating system is examined through autopoiesis, explaining organismic body and life formation concepts. Establishing a relationship between the reproduction life parameters and space design by coding knowledge through digital experiments is aimed since life, vitality, and evolution are code sets. Space understanding with the organismic body increases its sensitivity and offers an opportunity for a re-discussion of space understanding.
