TWO CASE STUDIES ILLUSTRATING SPACE CONCEPTION, DETAILS AND PHILOSOPHY

THE CLASSICAL PARADIGM

THE BIBLICAL PARADIGM

ZEN PARADIGM

THE OPTIMISTIC VIEW:

There are two realms and they are connected - eidos means form and idea
THE SCEPTICAL VIEW:

There are two realms, but the connection is decon-structed - image ban
THE PESSIMISTIC VIEW:

There is nothing behind - the "suchness" of form, connec-tion is rendered irrelevant
