a space that appears to be "full" or "empty" has no implicit advantage or disadvantage but can be used as a tool to create tension between the location of the observer and limits of the space. In a sacred space, this tension has been used to move visitors from one space to another, bridging between the sacred and the sacular. by orchestrating "full", earthly space, and "empty", universal spaces, it gives opportunity to connect one to another place.

full - earthly

empty - universal
