I really believe in empty spaces, although, as an artist, I make a lot of junk. Empty space is never-wasted space. Wasted space is any space that has art in it. An artist is somebody who produces things that people don't need to have but that he, for some reason, thinks it would be a good idea to give them.

Ch. 10: AtmosphereAndy Warhol
Thirty spokes unite at the single hub;
It is the empty space which makes the wheel useful.

Andy Warhol
The central problem of architecture is space. Space is essential for the individual and for the community. This is equally true for the small space (the capsule) as well as for the large space (the city).
