“Spaces…offer a greater or lesser potential for stopping, passing through, being happy, meeting, being moved, stimulating associations of ideas, and even dreaming.”
In this excerpt, from Elements of Architecture: From form to place, Pierre von Meiss suggests that spaces are static and when human interaction is involved a place develops. Buildings are stationary but places have dynamic qualities. A sort of awareness happens/an emotional growth/ learning occurs. A pulse is created and ripples through time and space. To be vibrant, to contemplate, to simultaneously stand tall and feel small, to rest, to be inspired, to awaken, to transcend
A person can be transported, encouraged to take a journey through places…portals.
