genius loci ; 'spirit of place' explored most notably by the theorist Christian Norberq-Schulzin his book, Genius Loci: Towards a Phenomenology of Architecture.
I cannot think of a single circumstance where it is not important. In fact, if you can successfully create a sense of place within your space, it might be considered successful.
is genius loci important for any architectural space?

Haven't heard that term since school.
So to answer your question, it's a very very important term, until it becomes very unimportant.
i guess if its an architectural space, yes. if its just a structure/ facility, no.
It's important for an architectural project, but not for a construction project.
