Architecture, sculpture and painting are specifically dependent on space, bound to the necessity of controlling space, each by its own appropriate means. The essential thing that will be said here is that the release of esthetic emotion is a special function of space.

Der Begriff der Atmosphäre stört den Architektur-Diskurs – er verfolgt diejenigen, die versuchen, ihm zu entkommen, und entgeht denjenigen, die ihm hinterherjagen.
