List the most pressing thought and discussion-starting question that each reading raises for you.
For Space and Place:
Taste, smell, skin sensitivity and hearing cannot individually (nor perhaps even together) make us aware of a spacious external world inhabited by objects. In combination with the “spatializing” faculties of sight and touch, however, these essentially nondistancing senses greatly enrich our apprehension of the world’s spatial and geometrical character.
For Place by Price:
Home, “the topography of our intimate being” (Bachelard 1994:xxxvi), is the site of our most intimate of relationships with place, as well as one of the first that we experience. Homes(places invested with meaning and experience) and houses( the physical structures within which most human homes reside) frame the family dynamics that are so central to shaping us as adults. They provide refuge from the outside world at times in life(infancy, illness, old age) when we are particularly fragile.

Space and Place:
In the first two chapters of Space and Place The Perspective of Experience written by Yi-Fu Tuan, the writer gives us an introduction about what he is going to cover in this book and also talks bout something about experience associated with space and place. In the first chapter, he talks about the reason why he is going to write this book and three themes that are going to weave through the book. In the latter chapter he talks about something really interesting about how taste and, smell, skin sensitivity, and hearing help us experience the external world around us. Tuan holds the idea that distance of space can be created out of many of our senses like hearing and seeing. He talks about space and place from an experiential perspective in this chapter. (Tuan 3-18)
