Never heard it called white space. I am familiar with negative space.
In landscape photography, blank sky is something to be avoided/minimized.
In this particular image I felt it was something to be minimized.
YMMV

I call it white space, which is more of a graphic design term. In
art/composition it is usually called "negative space". It's not
something I came up with.
: )
The negative space (sky) in the building photo that started this
thread helps to make the building height look more imposing than it
would if it was cropped out (IMHO).
