I address here the problem of the disproportionate strength of our emotional responses to certain everyday objects which satisfy (or dissatisfy) our aesthetic preferences but also seem to be of minor significance in our life. Our preference—or aversion—for the exposed brick on our kitchen wall could be an example. I elaborate here on the idea that such strong responses are proper, if not distinctive, of our everyday aesthetic evaluations of objects that create or alter space. The causal role played by our individually unique ideal of life in these cases and the fact that we perceive each of the occasions to enjoy the space as unrepeatable opportunities, seem to explain the (unexpected) strength of these responses. I offer now an explanation of how everyday objects contribute to acquiring this disproportionate significance. I suggest that the latter results from our encounter with them as we try to fit well—not just with our body but with our whole life—in the spaces they alter (e.g., in the kitchen space as altered by the exposed brick). This always-active search for fittingness is the project that serves as reference for our free decisions about how to occupy spaces (regarding location, posture, orientation, movement) and for our aesthetic judgments about them. Within this (personally unique, pre-conscious) project, objects appear, on one hand, as surfaces with different degrees of impenetrability—and, thus, as different affordances—and, on the other, as active sources of qualities which spread from and away from them. Space as such appears as a pool of qualities with an inner shape (i.e., an inner solid contour that conditions mobility), which is experienced from our bodily situatedness and through our meaning-giving life. All this means that the exposed brick becomes aesthetically significant insofar as it is part of the multi-sensorial and meaning-producing experience (e.g., exposed brick means modernity) of immersing ourselves in this pool (space) with the purpose of fitting well in it. This is why, when our aesthetic judgment of the (altered) space we are occupying is positive, we can say the exposed brick has contributed to create our overall feeling-well-doing-this-now-here experience.
