Inhabited space transcends geometrical space. - Gaston Bachelard

Poetry is one of the destinies of speech.... One would say that the poetic image, in its newness, opens a future to language.

In this dynamic rivalry between house and universe, we are far removed from any reference to simple geometrical forms. A house that has been experienced is not an inert box. Inhabited space transcends geometrical space.
