"Shells are sublime subjects of contemplation for the mind" (pg. 131)
In this chapter, Bachelard analyzes the reaction of man as a result of shell observation. The shell's shape determines inordinate objects (pg. 105). We learn as readers and designers that nature is very clever when it comes to design, evolving and constructing those assets necessary for prosperous survival. This then leads me to believe that as designers, we should always turn to nature to determine shapes and structures for our designs.
Referring back to past concepts of daydream, and how these moments are influenced by our surrounding spaces, Bachelard explains that an empty shell, like an empty nest invites daydreams ( pg. 107). From this observation I gathered that these moments can be defined as "moments of creative intuition" where emptiness provides opportunity to explore various renditions of space, light, and form.
