This article aims to present a reflection on the evolution of the concept of architectural space,through history, from a phenomenological perspective and as an object of communication. Theconceptualization of the architectural space has not been unique over time, on the contrary ithas been a process of ideological changes that generally depend on the variety of cultures andthought. In these cases, perception as a sensory experience has a protagonist role, but we cannot leave aside the phenomenon of spatial experience, which consists of all the experiences,memories, memories, feelings that are associated with a place or space. This brings us to thesubject of the phenomenology of the architectural space, to the idea of the poetics of the spaceof Gastón Bachelard and to the concept of atmosphere of Peter Zumthor.
