Food, shelter, and water; expanding on the capabilities of one these in discussion of a society/humanity can allow some meaning to be derived about said society/humanity. Take shelter for example. Le corbusier saw how it is interesting to see the totality of ones physical existence, i.e. their physical placement and surrounding, affect those beings in it. For the grand scheme to be affected, corbusier saw how integrating ideas about habitats can ultimately force a specific type of evolution. This is supported by the way that animals change their surroundings as they adapt and evolve, see the beaver. The self-provided evolution humanity extends itself with is no different than this more basic animal instinct. The progression will reach a pinnacle however, in which the environment will begin to sculpt the evolutionary process. The space will have been consumed by the mind and then its physical presence will delineate possible change and possible advancement beyond itself. I see this as a fundamental benefit of the space-concerned society. By allowing themselves the knowledge of this step in the change-process, certain minds(i.e. the architect) can be labeled a savior of sorts, when necessary. If negative advancement should arise the architect must remove himself from that which he creates, to an extent that would allow him to devise, in himself, a catalyst to further the evolutionary process that is beyond that one specific environment. He should reach into himself and pull out the truth of existence, and apply this to the lives of the masses for hope and a future, not control. This is a way in which the creature can keep out of the cyclical process of not expanding thought. Moving towards a new humanity should always be the goal.
