In a Heideggerian sense objects are only ever objects in the presence of a subject.
In fact linguistically I should think it would be almost impossible to describe an object in isolation without then defining it as a subject. As soon as the object becomes a subject, it is arguably no longer an object.
Space is in constant combat of interpretation. Whether or not realized, we negotiate space. We 'read' space in order to understand relationships. There is an inherent layer of abstraction in perception. Buildings as objects become perceptive abstractions in which reference and relationships are drawn.
Architecture is consistently in dialogue with a long train of history of building and thought and culture and tradition, constantly in reference to its own history within a sequence of development. There is no reinvention, simply a long conversation. Abstraction is relevant in this referential discussion as well.
People have a constant necessity for adaptation of spatial constraints. Changes are made whether for utilitarian or emotive purpose. Space has consequence, and its in constant flux.
