Place offers meaning, whether that place is big or small, and experience can be passive or active within a place. We understand small places intimately, through our bodies, through our senses. Larger spaces, such as a landscape, are understood via the active experiences we have in that environment, linked to landmarks, signs and interactions. Perception and awareness of the environment build on our personal experiences, and attachments are formed that link to place via memory. As social creatures we need small, intimate places; these offer us a sense of home and comfort. But likewise, we need places that are open, wide, large. Places that allow us to at once get lost, then remember the way. Places where we can learn the environment, feel the landscape and call our own. Places where experiences shape our thoughts and form memories within us. Place and memory are, it seems, inevitably intertwined.
