Summary/Abstract: In Heidegger's Building Dwelling Thinking section, we see that he examines the relationship between the two concepts in terms of space-dwelling-dwelling. One of the reasons Heidegger established this relationship is to examine the existence of man on Earth. For this purpose, he phenomenologically interpreted all kinds of object-subject communication that interact with human beings in daily life from different perspectives. However, when Heidegger made these interpretations, it coincided with a period when scientific research into space was gaining momentum. In this period, beyond the discussions about the existence of extra-terrestrial life, thinkers have started to be included in the scientific and intellectual infrastructure of laying the foundations of human life on other planets. As a result of this, a field to be called space architecture has formed the most basic keystone of this infrastructure. This study aims to discuss the validity of the discourses developed on the concept of space on the basis of this duality against space architecture. For this purpose, the technical and conceptual differences of the concept of space in space architecture are evaluated with a rhetorical approach through Heidegger's discussion of dwelling and building. However, the scope of this evaluation is within the possibilities of today's technology. This study, which is carried out without questioning what opportunities technology can give us in the future, has been designed based on the systems of today's space architecture.
