‘When a vase has been made; the empty space inside that makes it valuable’
The sentence above is a quotation. However, I cannot remember the source or the exact sentence of that quotation.
Basically, in my opinion, what can be seen as architecture is just an exterior wrap. So, no matter how sophisticated an architecture is, it will be useless if what is inside the envelope is not well accommodated. It can be activities, programming, zoning, circulation, but most of all is about the user.

Yes architecture is about users. But in what specific ways is it about users? Is the architect a user? Are the subscribers to glossy magazines where images of architecture are published users? Are the garbage collectors users?
I never think that my simple thought of architecture can be so complicated when I am asked about the user. I imagined the vase, and the flower as the user. but then, people who see the flower also will be the user.the one who wash the vase, will be the user too.
however,as the starting point..i think a vase for roses might be different with the one for ikebana [?]
