Place is space with memory



What makes a place interesting or memorable?

What makes it stick in our memory?

What makes us remember somewhere?

Some would say it's energy
.
It's beauty

Others it's features

Smell and history maybe


It's infrastructure perhaps

And at the end of the day, infrastructure is more than just roads, buildings and electrical lines.

Infrastructure is an interesting one because it carries so many elements that influence us

Speak to us


It’s about the social fabric of a community, and the collective memory of a geography, that determines whether a place will thrive and replicate, or destroy itself from within
.
And that's why we want to live where we do
.
Why we like visit and go back to certain places
.
Invisible but very real
.
That shiver when we enter certain places
.
That desire to leave others
.
Every place on Earth has it's story
.
Place is space with memory
