The twentieth century is a century of expansion of the concept of
space – it could even be referred to as a century of entropy. Whereas space has been associated with specific, geometrically organised and literally defined areas in a city or interior in earlier Western culture, modern day understandings have expanded to consider space from compositional, psychological and philosophical aspects.

This revolution occurred in urban construction and architecture primarily through the concept of free planning that was applied during this century as if to express the new democratic society in which not even city space could succumb to rigid hierarchy.
