Postmodern hyperspace emerges from tension between two distinct spatial structures
Evidence
But such hyperspace — Macrae-Gibson’s second and third types of space — is itself the result of the tension between two terms or poles, two distinct kinds of spatial structure and experience, of which we have so far mentioned only one (namely, the cube and the corrugated wall, the external wrapping). We must therefore proceed on to the most archaic parts of the house itself — the older surviving stairs, bedrooms, bathrooms, and closets — to see not merely what it was that had to be even partially transformed but also whether that traditional syntax and grammar is susceptible to Utopian transformation. — Fredric Jameson, Postmodernism, or, The Cultural Logic…, 307
