Article 1

After read through the Long article, i roughly put into 2 theory

1.) Is a 'place' where people don't want to go back to the same spot because if they go back it will not look the same ( 1st theory).

2.) Is a place where people can call their own, means they go back to the place, and the place has an identity.

For my own opition, i'm agree with the auther which suggest the 2.)
But i would like to add in some about the 1.)

The 1.) is mentioning about the mobility environment which is Utopia concept. From the 1st page, We can know about he concept of Place, some say that our place ( house ) will mobility, mobile environment of the future. For my own opinion, if our city (Let say KL )become a space ship and will keep moving, it is very good that we can move to other country, 4 season place. From the article, we can know that it maybe won't have anything look same if your building and environment is mobility which i think it mean there is not landmark or identity building left( of cause, if you keep moving your shodow sure will keep following ). And Culture it create by a very long period and the human stay in one place for certain period maybe century then only come out the culture. So if we keep moving, it is very hard to create culture.

And also it mean if we develope too much and too many modern contemporary building built, it will lost the identity of the place. It is very good if our technology become advanced, but if we keep built something that not no identity building on a ground, it might become no history and it can be anywhere?

About 2.) from my point of view, no matter how advanced for our technology and how fast for the development, we can't demolished or overlap our heritage building or change the culture of the certain place. For Pudu Jail, after it demolished and become Shopping Mall and Condiminium, will your son or grandson know previously there is a heritage building there if you didn't tell them? There is a common acceptance, the role of this place played in some most significant times that the city has experienced. Therefore, the memory of the city as a componenet of the place's structure must be accounted for as an important value, since it is memory which can bring about the good or bad images to a place. The characteristic of the buiding is strong enough so as to attribute a specific individuality for each place in particular ,and that area also those that try to understand the decisive role places play in the fulfillment of human living experiences.

Conclusion
I think we should remain our heritage building while we looking forward to become a society like Utopia Concept world. I think the mobility environment can work, although it can't leave any identity and it also won't make people to go back to the same spot, but maybe it can create a landmark on the path way of 'mobility house'? And also the mobility house it can give us alot of convinient. At the same times, we also can have the building and enviromnent that have imageable structure that can bring people back to the spot at the same times. Then when your mobility building back to the same spot, you still can regconize the place because there place have landmark or imageable structure on the ground.
