The Poetics of Space

 

The Poetics of Space (French: La Poétique de l'Espace) is a 1958 book about architecture by the French philosopher Gaston Bachelard. The book is considered an important work about art. Commentators have compared Bachelard's views to those of the philosopher Martin Heidegger.

During the Hebridean project I was reading ‘The Visible and the Invisible’. A book published after the death of Maurice Merleau-Ponty (1908–1961). I was especially inspired by the chapter / The Intertwining ­– The Chiasm. His most famous book is The Phenomenology of Perception.
