Architecture is Space; the Space-Positive Tradition
An ancient tradition that focuses upon the design of spaces to the exclusion of monumental form, shape and mass is explored using a series of diagrams and an illustrated tour of a functioning metropolis, the desert city of Isfahan, Iran. The role of encompassing walls is pursued through its tripartite sequence of path, portal and enclosure. The space-positive approach need not merely be seen as a historical phenomenon. It is a viewpoint that not only increases awareness of the existential focus of architecture and the urban fabric, but integrates the many planning and design specialities into a single comprehensive discipline which deals directly with humanistic and functional realities of the built world.
