Urban Form and Design - Concepts of Space and Place
8 likes2,175 views
This document discusses concepts of space and place through examples. It examines placelessness through images of suburban sprawl and standardized development. It then explores the concept of "genius loci" or spirit of place through images showing the unique character of places like Greenville, North Carolina and Chattanooga, Tennessee. Finally, it considers the idea of "third places" that foster social interaction, through examples of public gathering spaces around the world like cafes, parks, and transportation hubs.
