Abstract: In my writing I argue in favor of space and try to interpret time as an aspect of space. Time in this context is a more rudimentary form of perception of space. Following certain philosophical considerations, I confess that space and time can also be viewed as different aspects of energy and structure. These considerations are particularly valid when one considers that the philosophical meaning of space is broader than the concept of space in modern science, and this philosophical meaning includes reflections on the aesthetic experience of artistic space and, above all, of space created by architecture.

Keywords: space, time, energy, structure, sense.
