inhabited wall

The title of my current project is "inhabited wall". in this project, i am designing a gallery for an artist(of course it is not realistic la). i have a few question about this, hopefully you can tell me or give your comment for the answer:
_what is the relation between inhabited wall and gallery?
i dont know the actual answer. for me, in a limited area that has boundary for design, the space has to be 'fully' used and manipulated by nicely putting the partition walls. hence, i think this is one of the points that our gallery design linked to the title of 'inhabited wall'.
_what is the meaning of "inhabited wall"?
inside the wall, of course it is not habitable, right? i dont know the answer. i have another thinking about this... if a wall is built at a low height(about <1metre), then someone can sit on it(as a space of seat); or higher(1.5metre), we can put something on it(as a substitue of furniture)...etc. can my thinking related to the meaning of "inhabited wall". besides,for me, wall can be not a platform of wall, wall can be a wall that is 'invisible'/'vacuum' by maybe having 2 columns beside it. if this kind of walls are manipulated to create space within space that allows space in sight(because no block of view if the wall is invisible), so again, is it related a bit to the meaning of "inhabited wall"?
i maybe wrong in someway, please inform me ar give extra opinion ^_^, thank you.

wall...
few days ago, i post a comment to my friend's blog, about wall. briefly, i said i felt a 'partition wall' between he and me at the moment, i just simply comment, and then it becomes a controvercy topic, followed by big responces by my friends which concern about me and my way of thinking something. yup, they are right and i really appreciated their advices to me. in fact, 'partition wall' should not exist between friends if we really treat our friend as friend. the conflict happen because of misunderstanding of actual situation and contradiction of position. so, we should voice our feeling and thinking each other, and the mental contradiction was surfaced to be known, then recognition of thinking will be reached, and less conflict...^_^
so, connecting people...^_^ (as what has been interpreted by NOKIA and the concept of my previous studio project)
