The relationship between man and space is dwelling. And it is construction that imprints dwelling. This construction is architecture. We call architecture an object that offers practical and spiritual values. The practical values consist of the functions of protection and shelter, and the spiritual values lie in the qualities that appeal to our sensibilities and motivate a sui generis emotion. "Place-making" is a process that results from this experience of architecture, which seeks answers to the functions of human life, equating a set of principles linked to the aesthetic pleasure of perceiving the built form. The need to delimit the concept of architectural place arises in response to the diagnosed lack, a fragile legacy of progress that is not always compatible with the structuring values of a culture. It's not the method or the technical knowledge associated with it that we want to question, but the meaning it acquires through human experience.
