GEOMETRICAL DESCRIPTION OF
FUNCTIONAL SPACE
Architecture is the art of the hollow; it is defined both from the
interior and from the exterior«.A work of architecture which is designed only from the
exterior ceases to be architecture and becomes a stage set.
Conversely, the reduction to just the spatial characteristics eludes the
concrete signs and symbols underlain by its material nature.

1. About the Functional Description of Spaces
1.1. FUNCTIONALITY OF SOLIDS VS. FUNCTIONALITY OF VOIDS
A description of form tells what an object is,
while a functional description tells what it accomplishes
