Erik Champion and Bharat Dave's paper, 'Where is this place?' explains the meaning of place, the possible features of a place and in which situations these features may vary.
Initially a place simply meant to me a space with a set function whether it be a bedroom, kitchen or an art gallery. The reading helps further define what a place is by talking about cultural presence within a place, arguing that a 'place is more a constrained and malleable container of localised activities, evoking associations of past events and stimulating future tasks'. Further on in the reading it is stated that, 'place is often imaginatively reconstructed through suggestion, rather than through realistic attention to detail alone', which relating back to architecture, it's not all about the function of a space, but is more about the effect on the interactions between the place and the external environment and the people and their beliefs.
This relates to the direction of my video where there are several features that make up a place from cultural presence, time or even character of a place. The feature that I want to concentrate on throughout my video is colour and how individual colours add to a place but more importantly, the way colours combine with each other to create unique relationships adding another dimension to places.
