The Construction of Space

The construction of geometric space is fundamental to all cultural development. The intellectual concept of what space is contains two related principles. The principle of infinite space and the principle of finite space. Every space we see or inhabit contains both principles. From Greek antiquity to the Renaissance, to modernity, and finally to our own time, both principles have been interpreted according to the ideas and needs of the time. When we ask about the construction of space today, we involuntarily ask how we understand and inhabit our being as placed in a certain time, in a certain space that we call our own. The tasks are of a practical nature and are supplemented by the necessary theoretical knowledge.
