Architecture as Identification of Place
The Phenomenon of Place The Structure of Place
The Spirit of Place
The Phenomenon of Place
“The existential purpose of the building (architecture) is therefore to make a site become a place, that is, to uncover the meanings potentially present in the given environment .”
Christian Norberg-Schulz
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
