Hi--

A quote you might enjoy pondering vis-a-vis open space:

        I had always had (previously) a rather naïve and totally
        inaccurate view of the human body as a kind of bag, loosely
        filled with organs, tissues, nerves, and so on.... But seeing
        the MRI cross-section of the human neck makes it clear that it
        is, internally, a wondrous structure of carefully constructed
        coherent form, interlocking, overlapping, and richly woven, so
        complex and beautiful geometrically that every space, every nook
        and cranny have not one, but multiple functions, and participate
        in the form of several, multiple, coherent geometric structures.
        Christopher Alexander, The Nature of Order: An Essay on the Art
        of Building and The Nature of the Universe, Book One: The
        Phenomenon of Life, p 141.
