This document discusses architecture and place through three sections. The Phenomenon of Place defines place as a qualitative total phenomenon comprising concrete things that determine environmental character. The Structure of Place examines how settlement, urban spaces, visualization and symbolization give places their structure. The Spirit of Place explores how places foster identification through their essence. The document was prepared by Dr. Nermina Mujezinović using Christian Norberg-Schulz's work on the phenomenology of architecture and place as source material.

- 4. The Phenomenon of Place “What, then, we mean with the word ‘place’? Obviously we mean something more than abstract location. We mean a totality made up of concrete things having material substance, shape, texture and colour. Together these things determine an ‘environmental character’, which is the essence of place. In general a place is given as such a character or “atmosphere”. A place is therefore a qualitative, ‘total’ phenomenon, which we can not reduce to any of its properties, such as spatial relationships, without losing its concrete nature out of sight.” Christian Norberg-Schulz
