Architectural space vs vernacular space

 
Ivan Illich: ""Dwelling is an activity that lies beyond the reach of the architect"
 
It has a "tender complexity"
 
[T]he Cartesian, three-dimensional, homogeneous space into which the architect builds, and the vernacular space which dwelling brings into existence, constitute different classes of space"
