Space, place and territory are concepts that lie at the core of
geography and urban planning, environmental studies and sociology.
Although space, place and territory are indeed polysemic and
polemic, they have particular characteristics that distinguish them
from each other. They are interdependent but not interchangeable,
and the differences between them explain how we simultaneously
perceive, conceive and design multiple spatialities. After drawing
the conceptual framework of space, place and territory, the book
initially explores how we sense space in the most visceral ways,
and how the overlay of meanings attached to the sensorial
characteristics of space change the way we perceive it - smell,
spatial experiences using electroence phalography, and the changing
meaning of darkness are discussed. The book continues exploring
cartographic mapping not as a final outcome, but rather as an
epistemological tool, an instrument of inquiry. It follows on how
particular ideas of space, place and territory are embedded in
specific urban proposals, from Brasilia to the Berlin Wall,
airports and infiltration of digital technologies in our daily
life. The book concludes by focusing on spatial practices that
challenge the status quo of how we perceive and understand urban
spaces, from famous artists to anonymous interventions by traceurs
and hackers of urban technologies. Combining space, place and
territory as distinctive but interdependent concepts into an
epistemological matrix may help us to understand contemporary
phenomena and live them critically.
