Rethinking the Meaning of Place: Conceiving Place in Architecture-Urbanism by Li

Description: Rethinking the Meaning of Place by Lineu Castello The spread of newly invented places, such as theme parks, shopping malls and revamped historic areas, necessitates a redefinition of the concept of place from an architectural perspective. In this interdisciplinary work, these invented places are categorized according to the different phenomenological experiences they are able to provide. The book explores how such cloning spaces use placemaking and placemarketing in attempt to replicate the characteristics found in urban spaces traditionally viewed as successful, and how these places can affect societys environmental perception.
