Sense of Place Universal Theme, Brian Beholds

Sense of Place is the unique set of qualities and circumstances of a particular location. The  atmosphere and personality of “there.” This includes the physical features of the place, but also the emotions and spiritual feelings. The things that make a location unique and feel part of the living world.

Key Concepts

The architecture is the structure, the supports that hold a design together.

The atmosphere is the overall tone or mood of something such as a place or a work of art, how that work or place makes you feel. Atmosphere extends to the main influence of a place or group.

Aura means breeze and suggests invisible fluid flowing from something else, such as the scent wafting from a flower.

The environment is the surroundings where something exists both external and internal conditions that affect the nature of the thing and its community.

Hospitality is receiving and entertaining strangers or guests without reward and with a generous amount of kindness and comforting actions.

The milieu is the environment or surroundings where things take place.

The setting is the context, the situation and circumstances surrounding a person, object or event.

Spirit is the breath of life, and it refers to the intangible, nonmaterial part of everything that is alive.

Something sterile does not produce any reaction, outcome or product.

Texture refers to the surface of an object, and how that structure is perceived by sight and touch.
