Abstract:
This chapter focuses on the anthropological dimensions of place as they are perceived by daily experience and its corporeal manifestations. Place becomes the site of a complex and unpredictable cultural continuum, as human life and the desire of inhabitation are projected on it. Place extends its rich and fertile grounds to design as an imaginary, experienced, symbolic, metaphorical concept as well as an agent of communal and individual memory – as a place of commemoration. Lastly, place is investigated in itself as the sum of inherent characteristics and as physical form. Climate, geomorphology, winds, vegetation are some of its characteristics that serve as potential site points of departure for architectural design.
