In "Architecture as Space," Bruno Zevi's defines space (in four-dimensions) as the exclusive consideration of architecture. I think he is really addressing a broader scheme, which correlates with teachings from Suprematism, that architecture, along with every other creative discipline, contains a unique quality inherent to their discourse. There is a unique abstract quality that makes architecture, one that is essential, and Zevi defines it as space. Simultaneously, he acknowledges the importance of archeoligical and philological study in the practice of architecture, but along with their boundaries to enrich the essential idea. In "Production of Space," the motion for new content is dominant but develops from the need for new form. Heneri Lefebvre encourages a constant, changing, inexhaustible dialog between context and form, which resonates with Malevich's call for constant change. And now in comparison of the two former articles, the junction between space and concept is what Bernard Tchumi deems the pleasure of architecture, found in the relationships between constituent parts.
