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.
