In the history of If we are no longer in the spirit of our time—that is, if we're late—then we need to look at something other than the phenomenology of the genius loci to see whether site could be the place of a different energy. And theories of spatium, locus, platea and phenomenology. Maurice Merleau-Ponty, Phenomenology of Perception.

The production of space is marked with its own phenomenology. Notions and constructs of space and place define the environment we live in. That's why playing around with questions of representation is interesting, because if the sign is not necessarily referring out, and there is a free-floating relationship between sign and signified, then architecture must be thought of differently.
