    The scale changes dramatically as a boy tumbling down a basketball court to a team of cheerleaders practicing in a gymnasium. Moreover, according to lecture, place is a location where individuals embed meaning through the process of experience (Zonn, 09/22). Likewise, the article Place: An Experiential Perspective by Tuan specified that place is created when individuals bring meaning to a particular space (Tuan, 1975). Similarly, Edward Sharpe defined place by the perception of the performers changing the nature of the space and place based on their spirit and experience. In other words, Edward Sharpe characterizes place as something that was created through the meaning and experiences that were added from individuals, whereas society defines place based on the expected uses and activities upon the appropriate space. For example, the film “Man on Fire” presented a ballet performance in a New York alley where people would generally consider the space as a place to walk through. While the alley is interpreted as a narrow passageway, it meant for a place of presentation, dancing, and reunion for the

  • Privatizing the Public Sphere

    1560 Words  | 4 Pages

    The importance of public space and life is an important aspect of any given society. Without such spaces, society will continue to be dived among class lines. When a certain group of people hold power and it’s all about power and control, there will always be those that are excluded and denied access to the public sphere. As long as imaginary and irrational fears are instilled into the private lives of the public, society will continue to build fortress around its buildings and to use surveillance cameras outside the doors. Public space is a right to all citizens and due to fear of the unknown; it is diminishing right before our eyes. In this day and age, to be an American means to always be under the watchful eye of another.

  • Vertical And Vertical Thinking

    1223 Words  | 3 Pages

    These environments are places that are specified for a person to help one gain vertical and horizontal thought. This is brought up in Birkerts essay when he says “because only where silence is possible can the vertical engagement take place.” (Page 35). Silence can mean something different for everyone. One person could reach vertical engagement better with background noise, but there are some people that prefer complete silence. It depends on the persons preferred environment as to where they can reach vertical engagement. People need to start taking life in and broadening their understanding by locating a place where they can experiment with horizontal and vertical thinking. The process of combining the two thinking methods can make a person more sensible about the world around them. Birkerts also states, “The only remaining Oases are churches (for those who still worship) and the office of therapists.” (Page 35). This quote displays what environments are ideal for Birkerts to reach a vertical engagement. This is very important because it shows that every individual has a different atmosphere that can help them vertically

    Many elements place emphasis on the smaller construction, such as the saturation and variety of the onion domes, which greatly juxtapose the uniformity and monotony of the larger constructions. Furthermore, the typical, Asian building is not to scale; in reality, it is not as small in comparison to the symmetrical buildings that dominate it within the painting. This proportional inaccuracy emphasizes the overwhelming and conquering atmosphere that the grand, modern buildings emit. Through contemplation of the title, the symbolism displayed in the painting is more apprehensible. “Orientalism: the representation of Asia… in a stereotyped way that is regarded as embodying a colonist attitude.” With this in mind, the painting now seems to represent the dominating presence that the western civilization radiates. The Asian architecture is the “stereotyped” symbol that represents the collective culture, while the imposing buildings symbolize the western and modern

    'I saw dancing lights in the sky, spiking straight up starting around a few hundred feet off the ground. They waved a bit like curtains’-Mike Taylor. The Aurora Borealis is a display of solar flares that collide with the earth's atmosphere and cause a phenomenal light show, but do the impact of the solar flares affect the earth in any way? If so, is it a positive or negative reaction? Solar flares are also known as space weather. It is said in many research papers that space weather has a long term effect on the earth's atmosphere. If space weather truly does have negative long term effects on the earth’s atmosphere, then the planet might become uninhabitable for any life considering that all living organisms except bacteria and related bacteria life survive on oxygen. The long term effects of space weather in relation to the earths atmosphere will be discussed and based on facts, opinions, and scientific evidence.

  • Summary Of The Poem The Vacuum

    737 Words  | 2 Pages

    ... sentences creates an air of perplexity that the poet can express to the reader. While these fluctuations and lack of organization causes confusion and anger that the reader might not enjoy, it also lucratively allows the reader to three-dimensionally understand the poet’s mood. By paralleling two separate symbols throughout the poem, Nemerov was also able to eloquently compare and contrast his feelings for his wife and his lifestyle as a widower throughout the poem until the last three words, where he welds the two ideas into one image. Over all, The Vacuum is a noteworthy poem that is very effective in articulating the poet’s emotions to the readers. However, others who read the poem might become frustrated and too overwhelmed with the emotions conveyed through the poem and the lack of structural organization, preventing the poem to become an overall great poem.

  • Explaining Sacred Space in The Sacred & The Profane: A Nature of Religion by Mircea Eliade

    768 Words  | 2 Pages

    Space is something everyone experiences. However Eliade points out that different people have different reactions to the spatial aspect of the world. A profane man may experience space/spaces homogenously, “ no break qualitatively differentiates the various parts of its mass.” (pg. 22). For an example a profane man might classify a mall and church in the same way because he sees no religious value within them, but he then could regard a hospital sacred because that may be the place of his birth (in page 24 Eliade such sacredness is worthless). A religious man, on the other hand, could look at that same space, a mall and a church, and differentiate the sacred space, also known as the cosmos, from the profane space, also known as the chaos. In this case the religious man would classify the church as sacred place because it has some holy value and the mall as the profane space because it has no holy value at all. In clearer terms the the profane space is h...

    The aspect of ordered space versus uniform space is the first comparison drawn between the Sacred and Profane experience of life. Space has a sense of order for religious men because holy places gave the universe a fixed center and sacred territories were distinctly separated from the profane territories. Furthermore, the foundation on which religious men built their entire reality were heirophanies. This is because of their desire to connect to the transcendent being. Heirophanies revealed the glory of god’s power and each action that a religious man carried out in life was symbolically surmounted on this base, thereby ...
