[POETICS OF SPACE] chp_03

An analysis of small objects that are closed versus larger objects that open, raised the question of what would contain more value? Then the question arose, where do you store items of importance? Challenging the mind to fully analyze and grasp the concept of open versus closed was the main focus of chapter three. However, the introduction of chest, drawers, wardrobes, and cabinets was to show the mimicking of characteristics between these items that are within a house and the house as a whole.

Bachelard proposes a very interesting thought about imagination, protesting that imagination sharpens our senses and prepares our attention for instantaneousness [pG.87]. The initiation of daydream, in conjunction with memory is imagination. The more in depth evaluations of house and man are revealing a basis of psychological effects for me. Proving that the space we are introduced to as kids depicts daydreaming, which can limit imagination, therefore deterring sharp minds and activities that could embellish traits of vast intelligence.
