Abstract
This paper looks at two theoretical statements about ‘space’, both of which are grounded in a vitalist philosophy. The first is Henri Lefebvre’s formulation of ‘spatial architectonics’, a structure of concepts which he develops in The Production of Space; the second is Mies van der Rohe’s intuition of something he termed ‘authentic form’, a means of triggering new experiences and understandings through sensual engagement with space
