It is amazing the spaces we have in our worlds. My home alone is over 50 years old. Imagine the bodies that had occupied this space before me, how they would have lived and the people before them, how they lived here. I know for a fact, the previous people were a grandmother and daughter, both older women. It would be very contrasted to how I live in my home now, having friends over, blasting music, and my room which was once empty is now a complete mess.
In our everyday lives, the spaces we find a normality like the hustle on the street, the silence in a library, the expressiveness of a classroom or the packed atmosphere of a sports stadium all use the spaces they have in a way they were designed. Even though the library may have once been a thumping club, that space in now dedicated to silent reading and research. It is funny how our minds can link the way a space is set up and its function. It is why many people cannot study at home, yet find it so much easier in a library.
