Rethinking the Meaning of Place

Conceiving Place in Architecture-Urbanism

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Exploring the international spread of 'cloning spaces' such as theme parks, shopping malls and revamped historic areas, this detailed examination of these new 'invented' places analyses their impact upon society's environmental perception. Drawing on a range of international studies, the book illustrates how such invented places can both be perceived as legitimate urban spaces, and contribute towards the quality of life in today's cities.
