[POETICS OF SPACE] ch_06

Concluding Bachelard's analysis of intimate spacing, he addresses corners and their effects on mental capacity in regards to daydream initiatives. Nests and shells are transpositions of the function of inhabiting, whereas corners are impressions of intimacy (pg. 136). This simply breaks down the decisions we make as humans, emphasizing the fact that we are the space that we choose, we are the people that we surround ourselves with, we are the result of our mental daydreams and what they propose for future being. The first portion of the Poetics of Space is a journey through self. How past incidents structured our being of today and how our choices today will determine the paths for tomorrow.
