The Concept of Place

I agree with the author of this article, and disagree with mobility world. A place or space is a main thing of an architect dealing with all the time. Places, such as house, city and country, create a space for human being to take part of their daily routine.

Space like existential and architectural space will designs for human to practice out their activities as in public or personally. “The essence of the city is not place but interaction.” Say by Milton Webber. But nowadays, technical means of communication liberate us from direst physical contact with others. Through the study of Lynch implies a return, the lack of direct human contact may produce psychic disturbances.

The development of the concept of place, and of space as a system of places, is therefore a necessary condition for adaptation to a given environment. A child learns to recognize and creates a world based on a system similarities to the environment they familiar with. If without or lack of imageable structure, they would loses their sense of orientation.

Further more, the beauty of culture and tradition as point of reference from our pass generation should have prevailed to our next generation. Compare to mobility world, do u think there is anything will still remain?
However, In my opinion, mobile world will be the ease toward human needs in the future. But I strongly disagree mobile world without architecture.
