Description

This book applies interdisciplinary theories of spatial dynamics to an exploration of heterotopic sites: real sites that hold special cultural functions.

American transcendentalist thought influenced how some writers conceptualized real spaces in print.

By challenging preconceptions of architectural structures as solid and permanent these authors find a sense of the infinite in unlikely places, enlarging our understanding of the physical and cultural function of space.
