Why Ground?
Place and Space pp175
Yi-Fu-Tuan: “Space is movement, place is rest”/ Space is the anxiety of global indifference; place is the comfort of local malleability
Architectural phenomenologist Norberg-Schulz “Space is alienation; place is identification
Urban planner Edward Relph “Space is an ordering of understanding; place is an ordering of experience“

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.
