In the ArchDaily article "The Therme Vaks," the author includes a quotation by Peter Zumthor: “The meander, as we call it, is a designed negative space between the blocks, a space that connects everything as it flows throughout the entire building, creating a peacefully pulsating rhythm. Moving around this space means making discoveries. You are walking as if in the woods. Everyone there is looking for a path of their own.” 

I learned that negative space can produce a feeling of rhythm. I tend to conceptualize rhythm in architecture as repeated columns or arches, as a pattern of structure taking-up of space rather than a lack thereof. However, I am intrigued by the idea that highlighting or framing a space repeatedly can add a certain movement to a place.
