In everyday life, the interdependence of any individual with her or his surrounding environment is self-evident. The subconscious consolidation of spatial orientation by the human being is fundamental to most activities. However, in artistic and aesthetically motivated works, creating a clear sense of spatial orientation is not always the artist's main intention. Especially in creative activities that are directly related to space and time, such as architecture and music, both spatial and tonal orientation are sometimes brought out, while at other times they are challenged. The use of what is called, in established musical terminology "tonality" and "atonality" and their equivalent ones in architecture, not only enriches the understanding of the regulating mechanisms that are similar in both activities, but helps to describe the means by which the designer of the architectural space determines the kind of interaction between the structured environment and its user.
