“Architecture is the thoughtful making of space” – Louis Kahn.
Positive space has shape and negative space does not. However through the arrangement of positive spaces, negative space can be transformed to create a positive space.
We travel through negative spaces and dwell in positive spaces. Negative space promotes movement whilst positive spaces create place. Suburban buildings are typically freestanding objects in negative space.
We inhabit the interior spaces shaped by walls, roofs, floors, stairs and chimneys.
A floor plan demonstrates the organisational logic of a building (parti) where as a section showing the interior space embodies the emotional experience (poche).
