The document discusses the concept of dwelling and place, citing theorists like Heidegger, Descartes, and Norberg-Schulz, who define dwelling as the way humans exist on earth and the idea that places represent architecture's role in truth. It explores the difference between spaces and places, with places being nouns that gather and afford meaningful action, while spaces are prepositions that order. The document examines domains, paths and places as the contexts in which we experience meaningful events and orient ourselves in the environment.

27. Dwelling implies something more
than “shelter.” It implies that the
spaces where life occurs are
places in the true sense of the
word. A place is a space which
has a distinct character. The place
represents architecture’s share in
truth. Christian Norberg-Schulz (1979)

31. A place is a place only because it
affords meaningful action. We
can create structures that we
intend to be perceived as places,
but it is up to the perceiver to
find meaning in those structures
that resonate as “place.”
Andrew Hinton (2014)

more than location; it involves
primarily identification
with the particular character
of the places, paths and

71. Places are goals or foci where we
experience the meaningful events
of our existence, but they are also
points of departure from which we
orient ourselves and take
possession of the environment.
Place is therefore experienced as
an inside. Christian Norberg-Schulz (1975)
