Inspiration „What begins as undifferentiated space becomes place as we get to know it better and endow it with value. … If space allows movement, a place is a pause.“ Yi-Fu Tuan – Space and Place: The Perspective of Experience „If a place can be defined as something that is associated with identity, relationships and history, then space that cannot be defined by identity, relationships or history forms a non-place. … Non-places creates neither the singular identity nor relation; only solitude and similitude.“ Marc Augé – Non-Places: Introduction to an Anthropology of Supermodernity
