    These notes are good, but no sketches? You should have a page devoted to your conclusions. In particular the evolution of the market + the aspects that are the same and different in each culture. I believe discovery of commonality within the “differential” is an important part of your thesis.

    Model what you write about the polis…empty space…and all the rest is just a means of fixing that empty space – limiting its outlines.

    Re-read what Heidegger says about “gathering space”

    ---

    “Only things that are locations in this manner allow for spaces. What the word for space, Raum, Rum, designates is said by its ancient meaning. Raum means a place cleared or freed for settlement and lodging. A space is something that has been made room for, something that- namely within a boundary, Greek peras. A boundary is not that at which something stops but, as the Greeks recognized, the boundary is that from which something begins its presencing. That is why the concept is that of horismos, that is, the horizon, the boundary. Space is in essence that for which room has been made, that which is let into its bounds. That for which room is made is always granted and hence is joined, that is, gathered, by virtue of a location, that is, by such a thing as the bridge. Accordingly, spaces receive their being from locations and not from "space."”

    Jenn,

    Make sure you present these notes and comments on Thursday. Especially your note - fixing that empty space – limiting its outlines.

    Perhaps read the quote by Heidegger - maybe this is the intro to the work of the group.
