About The Book

<p>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.</p>
