I'm talking about big lobbies in hotels, big shopping malls, airports, big train stations, art galleries, and so forth.
I don't mean being inside an ordinary-sized room of a building that happens to be big. I mean, a big building that has at least one very large space inside of it-- lobbies, atriums, conference halls, that kind of thing.
I've just now found myself hankering for this, and missing a particular big building. It's not a constant need, but if I haven't been in a really big building for a while, I miss it.
It seems to nourish (and satisfy) a sense of awe, and of reflectiveness.
In general, I'm all in favour of "small is beautiful"...but I do have this hunger as well.
(No need for comments about ugly modern architecture. I get it.)
