Abstract [en]

A good space has a healing effect. Mechanistic view of space (Newton, Leibnitz, and Descartes). Organic view of space (Alexander). Living structure as a mathematical structure of physical structure (external). Place is human-experienced space (internal). Two laws of living structure: scaling law and Tobler’s law. Goodness of space as a fact rather than opinion. Conclusion: Two concepts of space and place are not separated – as currently perceived, or under the current mode of thinking – but can be bridged through the very concept of wholeness. Goodness of space can be objectively judged as a matter of fact rather than of opinion. * The more the centers, the more beautiful; * The higher the hierarchy, the more beautiful. Goodness of space can be well reflected as our inner experience with a good sense of belonging, well-being, and healing.
