Continuing an earlier thread about Place...
Among the particulars that make a place are ... "topography, weather, plants, animals, agriculture, its language, voices, and stories.... I have learned to see my native landscape and neighborhood as a place unique in the world, a work of God, possessed of an inherent sanctity that mocks any human valuation that can be put upon it." (From and essay, Imagination in Place, by Wendell Berry)
How do we reinstate myth in our environment?
There is no common myth - the shared stories continue to diminish.
What is myth? For purposes of this conversation, "a myth is a symbolic narrative explaining how the world and humankind came to be in their present form." Stories of radical beginnings and radical endings.
Activities: LIVE! Work, Play, Sleep, Exercise, Bathe, Meditation, Worship. Eat, Sell, Buy. Create, Procreate, Recreate. See and be seen.
Living Cities - Spaces alive with activity. A relic of time evolving through a series of small acts.
The site carries the genes of Architecture
