I'm posting these a day late...but its a good thing I did. We visited Studio Ma in downtown Phoenix today. Dan Hoffman, one of the three partners, talked about the firm's work but he also talked about what "ma" meant when the question was asked by one of the other students visiting. It is the space between. Not to quote wiki but I like the way this sounds:
Ma: consciousness of space, not something that is created by compositional elements; it is the thing that takes place in the imagination of the human who experiences these elements.
For me that is what architecture is about, not so much what something looks like but how you experience a sequence of spaces composed to make you feel...
