Bashra sees space not as a container to fill with objects, but as the dwelling place of human consciousness. He says: "In this dynamic confrontation between the home and the universe, we have moved away from any mere geometric form of reference architecture. The home that we experience is not a sluggish box, the space that is inhabited is beyond geometric space."

Our concern is therefore not with the analysis of the form or comfort of a house. In other words, architecture is the poetics of dwelling. The best part of the book is the depiction and imagination of intimate spaces. He points to the home as one's corner in the world, sheltering the daydreamer and protecting the dreamer.

The imagery of home reflects the imagery of intimacy, solitude and passion. We are in the home and the home is within us. We poetically construct the home, and the home spiritually constructs us.
