Providing a critique of the concepts attached to the representation
of urban space, this ground-breaking book formulates a new theory
of space, which understands the dynamic interrelations between
physical and social spaces while tracing the wider urban context.
It offers a new tool to approach the reading of these
interrelations through reflexive reading strategies that identify
singular reading fragments of the different spaces through multiple
reader-time-space relations. The strategies proposed in the volume
seek to develop an integrative reading of urban space through
recognition of the singular (influenced by discourse, institution,
etc.); and temporal (influenced by reading perspective in space and
time), thereby providing a relational perspective that goes beyond
the paradox of place in between social and physical space,
identifying each in terms of relationships oscillating between the
conceptual, the physical and social content, and the context. In
conclusion, the book suggests that space/place can be read through
sequential fragments of people, place, context, mind, and
author/reader. Operating at different scales between conceptual
space and reality, the sequential reading helps the recognition of
multiplicity and the dynamics of place as a transformational
process without hierarchy or classification.
