Relations of power are often defined and structured by spatial relations: being in a higher or lower position, in full light or in darkness, in a large or a small room. Unequal space distributions impose a hierarchical framework to the relations, creating a vertical asymmetry in those involved. Thus, in a hierarchical space, mutual respect implies an asymmetrical relation of power, signifying submission and reverence on the one side, and dominance and disrespect on the other. In such a context, a strong exercise of a weak power is required in order to be respected and treated as equal. Changing the spatial relations is very likely to modify the power relations and more equally dstributed spaces certainly contribute to create more equal relations, in which respect is experienced as an egalitarian rule structuring the relations of power on the basis of the real personal capabilities and functionings of individuals.
