This is in the tradition of Rennaissance thought in that it explores space and architecture from a multitude of other perspectives that go largely unexamined.These include nature,religion,phenomenology,psychology,sexuality and existentialism.How about a house that is like the smooth interior of a shell?

Written in true poetic form, cognitive thought expressing itself to the fullest. Anyone who is a daydreamer, or who wants to get lost in the literally "the poetics of space." open this book, your only bound by your imagination.
