Abstract: Space production is the essential content and motive of social development, as well as an important measure of the degree and vitality of an area's development. By "coating" we mean the artificial overlap of heterogeneous objects and the development of coating skills is significant for social development. Through coating, objects can be more durable. Meanwhile, human production and life will cost less and be more gorgeous with its image being improved. However, coating may also lead to alienation. The coatization of space production is the excessive, generalized and alienated application of coating skills and coating strategies in space production area so that it is an evil one-no matter it is apparent or hidden. The coatization of space production is closely related to the secularization of the zeitgeist, the aggregation effect of urban society and the multiplication of modern skills. Although the coating strategy is needed in modern social production, coatization may cause multiple harms such as constructing troubled space that is unsustainable, affirming and reproducing human contradictions, deepening the inherent contradictions of social relations, enchanting and distorting the world of meaning. To reduce and prevent the coatization of space production, the space production, coating techniques, the aim and process of space coating are needed to be ethically constrained. Also, the ethical qualities and capacity possessed by the multiple subjects of space production should be continuously improved.

Key words: space production, coating skills, coatization, ethical constraints, ethical acts
