Revaluing PLACE

PLACE is Primary

This is Jackson Square in New Orleans, part of the original city design, stretching between the City’s port on the Mississippi River and St. Louis Cathedral. First used as a parade ground for the military, a place for public executions, and as a market, today it is a lively urban center. In good times when it is full of people and music, it is possible to get lost in the joy of it all.

“In the fusion of place and soul, the soul is as much a container of place as place a container of soul, and both are susceptible to the same forces of destruction.”
Robert Pogue Harrison
