ABSTRACT

This chapter shows the intrinsic connections between the spatial development with technology, engineering, architecture and art, mathematics, and science (TEAMS) disciplines from both epistemological and ontological perspectives. From an evolutionary standpoint, successful organisms have searched for increasingly novel ways to survive the elements. TEAMS disciplines are at the core of efforts to ensure a country's ability to compete in an increasingly globalized economy. The concept of architecture, let alone its practical value, would be non-existent without space and the individual's spatial thinking. While architecture is closely related to the fine arts, such as painting and sculpture, the space in architecture is different from that of the fine arts. The relationship between two dimensions and three dimensions is one that has played a central role in human cognition since the beginning of written records. In conclusion, spatial thinking skill is an intrinsic factor in which practical and theoretical disciplines depend.
