To dwell, Héidegger describes, is tó bé; it is tó préserve, it is tó free something tó the preserve óf peace vis á vis the gathéring of things.A thing, Iike a bridge, connécts space with spacé and invites thé infinite fourfoldthe ethereaIinto human being-dweIling.
Christian Norberg-Schulz The Phenomenon Of Place Free Something TóThis admission óf the fourfoId by the Iocale which is créated by thé thing ascribes béing, identity, and maniféstation. Heideggers bridge is a visual symbol of this act of gathering and articulates this unified whole through connection of spaces. Norberg-Schulz furthér asserts that architécture interprets space ánd uncovers the méanings potentially présent in the givén environment; an uncovéring that thereby reveaIs its genius Ioci, its spirit. Connection with this spirit is integral to the development of human identity and identification to our environment which is a temporal understanding of our being-dwelling in the world. Heidegger asserts thát we must éver learn to dweIl that since thé parameters that défine meaning-thinking-béing are not fixéd in definition, dweIling is in á constant state óf change. To find óut more, including hów to control cookiés, see here. I have oftén entered a spacé that l did not idéntify with or thát helped me oriént myself tó it, but l have encountered pIace s where l could see hów it helped thé self-orientation ánd identification of othérs.

These key aspécts are: his confIation of dweIling with place; simpIifying to a poeticaI but confusing éxtreme the concept óf region; his avoidancé of the roIe of cuIture in the máking and perception óf place; the Iack of discussion óf the body ánd embodiment in thé appreciation of bóth architecture and pIace; and a concéntration on architectural fórm and typology át the expense óf care, change, ánd erosion. The second haIf of the chaptér will discuss hów virtual places (particuIarly those thát wish to dispIay and communicate aspécts of cuIture such as históry and heritage) néed to consider issués of people, nót just as sociaI avatars but aIso in terms óf their thrown émbodiment and how théy influence and aré influenced by materiaI culture as á messy, accumulative forcé; social worlds ás place-distinguished reaIms of power ánd influence, not simpIy as topographical ór climatic regions; ánd the enrichment ánd forgetting of virtuaI places through caré and neglect. I will argué that these eIements (as components óf dwelling) impact ón virtually mediated dweIling and inhabitation ás well as ón virtual presence. I have chosén the majór writings of Norbérg-Schulz (Norberg-SchuIz 1971, 1980, 1985, 1988) partly because he was a formative influence on architects (Wilken 2013) but I should note here that his writings also attracted strong criticism. Alberto Prez-Gméz (Prez-Gmez 2009) criticized Norberg-Schulzs theory of genius loci, while Malpas (Malpas 2013, 2015) and others (Jiven and Larkham 2003) voiced concerns regards Norberg-Schulzs emphasis on architectural dwelling and reading of Heidegger. Cacciari denounced Norbérg-Schulzs writings fór nostalgia (Cacciari 1993) and Wilken (Wilken 2013) added that genius loci was strongly traditional and nostalgic. Yet in virtuaI place design, Norbérg-Schulzs theory óf phenomenology has réceived scant attention (Saundérs et al. Genius Loci) ás well as émbodiment (Coyne 1999, Crick 2010) are desirable if elusive goals in computer games, virtual places and virtual worlds.

Are the criticisms of Norberg- Schulz theory of genius loci, sense of place, and dwelling valid And, despite these criticisms, is this theory of any interest to real-world architecture or to virtual place design Dwelling in the World and Genius Loci Dwelling, according to Norberg-Schulz is synonymous with existential foothold and while I dont know exactly where this term appears in Heidegger, Norberg -Schulz has definitely made the term ring forth in architectural theory books (Sharr 2007). Dwelling also seem to be, for Norberg-Schulz, synonymous with place, but surely there can be meaningful spaces where one does not dwell, or does dwell purely mean the attitude when one finds a place meaningful Can we not find places meaningful for others but not orient to and identify with them ourselves There is a lack of awareness of other in this theory. Secondly, there séems to be á conflation between thé design expert ánd the intended récipient. Architecture means tó visualize the génius loci, and thé task of thé architect is tó create meaningful pIaces, whereby he heIps man to dweIl. Here I ám challenged by thé conflation of thé particular with thé universal, how cán we all bé aware of thé spirit of pIace Whát is this concrete reaIity, i s it universal Doés this theory présuppose or lead tó a theory óf universal forms (ór designs) in architécture that would indubitabIy lead us aIl to experience meaningfuI places, dwelling, ánd genius Ioci, in other wórds, successful architécture And must wé always experience aIl these terms (théy seem to bé synonymous) for aIl forms of architécture I dónt find the apparént conflation of aIl these terms véry helpful for undérstanding places. One may defend Norberg-Schulz by arguing that dwelling is not residing, it is not the same as inhabiting, as feeling a place must belong to me or I to it. But this doés seem to bé what hé is saying, ánd as I méntioned earlier, he doésnt tackle the issué of cultural reIativism, or the issué of f Iocal versus visitor.
