Description: The treatise developed from a preoccupation with regards to the theories rooted around the human need for a sense of embeddedness in a specific place. This need lies deep within the human heart, as humans have a psychological and phenomenological need for a sense of comfort and security. The preoccupation lead to the notions pertaining to place to place making. The treatise acknowledges that certain places have the ability to evoke certain moods in human beings as a result of their extension and character, and when a place possesses a certain character it becomes meaningful to man. In order for man to fulfill his need to dwell amid the earth and sky, he has to orientate himself and identify with the natural place in which he is located.
