 Augustin Berque analyses landscape space by comparing Newtonian universal space and Cartesian dualistic space, in which there is a distinct separation between subject and object, and Chinese mediumistic space, in which a unity of landscape and environment corresponds to a unity of mind and body.Thus postmodern thought brings together the concepts of space as product of mind, body and culture.Rather than being the negative of the objects that occupy it, space can be seen as its own volume with undeniable importance as a design tool.
