The Ma within Architecture
Saturday, April 11, 2026, 4:00 pm - 5:15 pm
The concept of ma encompasses the appreciation of empty, or in-between spaces, emphasizing the balance between presence and absence. These in-between voids are just as important as the elements they separate. In contemplative spaces, ma can bring a sense of calmness and harmony that allows one to go beyond the ‘everyday’. Join Toshihiro Oki, Grace Farms Architecture Advisor, and guests, for a conversation exploring the ma within architecture and what that can mean for our sense of self.
