Principles

The Space As is built around a single premise: environments shape judgment primarily through background conditions rather than explicit instruction.

  • A framework for describing pre-judgment spatial influence
  • A vocabulary for slow-acting environmental regulation
  • A structure that treats interiors as conditions, not expressions
  • Not a catalog of styles
  • Not a set of decorating tips
  • Not a collection of case studies
  • Not a prescriptive checklist for “better design”

This site favors definitions and mechanisms over opinions. If a claim cannot be expressed as a condition that remains true across contexts, it is usually excluded.

The intent is to describe what space does before people realize they are judging.
