Interstice refers to the small space, gap, or intermediate zone between architectural elements such as walls, columns, façade layers, structural members, or even between buildings.
It is often intentionally designed to serve both functional and aesthetic purposes.
Interstitial spaces can improve natural ventilation, lighting, circulation, thermal performance, and spatial transition.
They also create depth, layering, and a sense of movement within a building, enhancing the user’s spatial experience.
In modern architecture and urban design, interstices are often transformed into useful spaces such as light wells, courtyards, green buffers, walkways, or social interaction zones.
