I don't know anything about architecture, and I'm certainly not sure I know
what makes open space work so well.
But I have thought for a long time that in designing meetings we
(facilitators) have sought a "form" (meeting technique) that most closely
fits the way people operate ("function") in our most natural or organic
mode.
Of all the techniques I¹ve tried, open space seems among the most real to
me. You get as much theory and partially-cooked social science stuff as you
possibly can out of the way and let people do what they will do. Spirit
emerges and seems to take over. I believe this is what the universe has
been intending ever since the big bang.
