- Edward Relph, place and placelessness. 1976
- “Places are defined less by unique locations, landscape, and communities than by the focusing of experiences and intention onto particular settings”.p141
- thus while we can speak of the identity of a place, we must also admit identification with a place.
- Space lies outside the walls, or outside the social sphere, but the experiences of place occur inside these seen and unseen boundaries.
