morials whose core is formée! by a spécifie inferior
space. However, the fundamental intention in all these
multifacious solutions is a comprehensive interpréta-
tion of the ideational content and a setting up of an
impressive, captivating space that permits the viewer
a deep experience of the ideas expressed.
