Openness in short is a respect for all beings and all things. Things were created for the advancement of beings in the most elementary of terms. People have banded together even before the creation of modern language, but that communal cohesiveness is what advances societies and raises the human race into the next threshold. OpenTecture seeks out those man-made advancements as well as to offer admiration to human achievement and progression that can improve not only individuals but also communities as well. One quintessential example of this is St. Peters Square in Rome, Italy. The plaza space is engulfed by two "symbolic arms" which ebrace those who want to follow the Catholic faith. It's an architectural masterpiece as well as a societal representation of openness.
