Where is the furniture?

It is interesting to note that most architectural spaces are not made with any thing to sit on, where at the same time, they are usually presented unfurnished as the achievement they are. For that matter, architectural spaces generally lack any of the components of living before they are furnished.

The problem I see with this idea occurs when the design of the space ignores the furnishings that will have to follow its completion, in order to actually use the space for something intended. Sometimes the space is too small to be useful. No ordinary array of furniture will fit into such a space. At other times, the empty space is so complete, that it won't support the addition of  useful elements within it.

In residential architecture, the spaces carry titles, which reflect the functions of the spaces in the total scheme of living. If the empty space is active on all sides, before it is furnished to reflect its function, it is very difficult to imagine how to place furnishings in such a way as to engage the space, and live in the space functionally too.

The architectural spaces in non-residential buildings which are imagined without furnishings, often are spaces which don't have functions which require intensive furnishings, and often the scale of such spaces is large enough that the incidental furnishing that may be installed do not compete with the architecture itself.

It seems to me that it would be very useful to develop a system of designing for furniture which is integral to the architectural concept, which allows the empty space to stand on its own while crying out to have people and their furnishings to become a part of it.
