Quotes About Spatial

Architecture is the will of the age conceived in spatial terms.
~ Ludwig Mies van der Rohe
The universe is but one immense unit; it cannot be separated into spatial domains that are totally empty and others that are completely filled with matter. Matter and space can be distinguished from each other, but where we draw the blurred line between them is largely a matter of taste.
~ Henning Genz
Archaeologists gave the military the idea to use aerial photographs for spying and field survey. We are fortunate that the spatial and spectral resolutions of the imagery available to us are so broadly useful for archaeology.
~ Sarah Parcak
GIS is the only technology that actually integrates many different subjects using geography as its common framework.
~ Jack Dangermond
Specifically, Aristotle claims that no spatial extension (e.g. the intercurb interval AB) is 'actually infinite,' but that all such extensions are 'potentially infinite' in the sense of being infinitely divisible.
~ David Foster Wallace
By analogy, we know that if a hypersphere (a sphere with four spatial dimensions) were to pass through our universe, it would appear to us as a time sequence of three-dimensional spheres that increase, then decrease, in size.
~ Lisa Randall
I've got a real sense of three-dimensional geometry. I can look at a flat piece of fabric and know that if I put a slit in it and make some fabric travel around a square, then when you lift it up it will drape in a certain way, and I can feel how that will happen.
~ Vivienne Westwood
Psychologically experienced consciousness is therefore no longer pure consciousness; construed Objectively in this way, consciousness itself becomes something transcendent, becomes an event in that spatial world which appears, by virtue of consciousness, to be transcendent.
~ Edmund Husserl
ArcGIS includes a Living Atlas of the World. It's like a large living library of geographic information.
~ Jack Dangermond
Only shallow people insist on disbelief. You and I know better. We understand how reality is invented. A person sits in a room and thinks a thought and it bleeds out into the world. Every thought is permitted. And there's no longer a moral or spatial distinction between thinking and acting.
~ Don DeLillo
Best mapping: Controls are mounted directly on the item to be controlled.        Ã¢â'¬Â¢  Second-best mapping: Controls are as close as possible to the object to be controlled.        Ã¢â'¬Â¢  Third-best mapping: Controls are arranged in the same spatial configuration as the objects to be controlled.
~ Donald A. Norman
In outline, it is easy to see how a spatial game could work along the same lines as the cellular automata. The game players are arranged on a chessboardlike array (it can be in three dimensions, of course, or even more). During each round, the player on a given square plays the game with its neighbors. After this, each square is occupied by its original owner or by one of the eight neighbors, depending on who won that round—in other words, who got the biggest payoff.
~ Unknown
When I write a song, I see a tunnel, and then the chorus is an open space, or the bassline is doing this shape. I see songs as a more of a geometric, spacial experience.
~ Bjork
extremely difficult for the average person to visualize a space of more than three dimensions, since that is the only spatial geometry with which we have had any personal experience.
~ Unknown
adolescentes", cuyos rasgos principales son una resistencia endeble a la gravedad, un vocabulario compuesto de gruñidos, falta de conciencia espacial, dosis abundantes de masturbación y una voracidad desmedida por comer cereales.
~ Matt Haig
A perceived thing is... a certain variation in relation to a norm or to a spatial, temporal, or colored level, it is a certain distortion, a certain "coherent deformation" of the permanent links which unite us to sensorial fields and to a world.
~ Maurice Merleau-Ponty
The world is a mass without gaps, an organism of colors across which the receding perspective, the contours, the angles, and the curves are set up as lines of force; the spatial frame is constituted by vibrating.
~ Maurice Merleau-Ponty
Design is not only about imagining an exterior form. It is even more centrally about the internal spatial experience that gives rise to form.
~ Moshe Safdie
Instead of requiring us to puzzle out where we are in an area, a GPS device simply sets us at the center of the map and then makes the world circulate around us.
~ Unknown
