No space is too vast or too small to be filled by our thoughts and our reveries, especially those spaces that comprise what we call ‘home’, according to French philosopher Gaston Bachelard. In his seminal book “The Poetics of Space”, which was published in French in 1957 and translated into English in 1964, Bachelard takes readers on a lyrical journey, examining the domestic places that shape and hold our dreams and memories, from cellars and attics, to drawers, chests, and wardrobes, to nooks and corners. The book’s focus on the emotional response to architecture, both in life and in literary works, has been inspiring philosophers, architects, writers, and psychologists ever since it came out, while Bachelard’s stirring, mysterious imagery has been encouraging readers to stop seeing ordinary spaces in ordinary ways.
