In this study, an awareness survey involving the residents of a Britz housing complex designed by Bruno Taut was conducted in consideration of the relationship between building layout and outdoor space. The purpose was to determine how residents felt about the architect’s intention in the design of the complex’s outdoor living space. The results showed that approximately 80% of respondents were aware in everyday living of the architect’s intention to embrace the concept of outdoor living space in the building layout. Those with higher awareness tended to value the landscape-friendly asymmetrical design implemented to create space with subtle variations in house positioning and the design/usage of a green area formed by a private garden facing the houses as measures for optimal outdoor living space. Younger residents had stronger opinions on individual evaluation items. The survey’s outcomes enabled identification of how residents felt about the architect’s intention regarding the design of the complex’s outdoor living space.
