Phenomena of Place- Christian Norberg

Phenomena of Place- Christian Norberg

Norberg in the “Phenomena of Place” talks about the concrete fixed and the emotions of “place”. He mentions this needing to be described as landscape and settlement. The definition of place throughout the reading changed many times. Whether it was “place” or “space”, Norberg was very broad when defining them. He also talks about the materiality of these spaces and the formal constitution with which it is being built. A very interesting reading overall that touches in many key ideas such as the classification of spaces and the architects purpose.
