Welcome Park, built in 1982, outside one of Philadelphia's few art-house theatres, is a strangely conceived space that flaunts scale and proportion until the joke falls flat.
Humboldt constantly took readings during his vast journey - the height of every mountain, the line of the equator, the exact number of lice on the head of a servant - while Gauss conceived space as a mathematical reality in which even lines were merely an abstraction; yet his space was, in its way, as full of life as Humboldt's.
The drummer was soon ditched for a more glamorously conceived "space toy" named Lunar Larry, later renamed Buzz Lightyear in honour of famed astronaut Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin.

Thus, in spite of the conceptual complexity, the diverse definitions and the tendency to contrast "formal" and "informal", the importance taken on by this relationship shows itself capable of triggering a different way of conceiving space, at the same time assigning a perspective to future project-oriented action.
"The indigenous perspective works in layers, which is a very different way of conceiving space".
