Space as Receptor, Instrument or Stage: Notes on the Interaction Between Spatial and Social Constellations

Hilde Heynen

International Planning Studies, 2013, vol. 18, issue 3-4, 342-357

Abstract: Acknowledging the need for a shared scholarly paradigm capable of explaining the interaction between spatial and social constellations, this paper presents a model which identifies three important ways to conceptualize this interaction: space seen as receptor, as instrument or as stage. The paper reviews the relevant literature from architectural history and theory, positioning it within a broader framework that also addresses material from anthropology, sociology and cultural geography. It points to similarities and parallels, but also to divergent sensibilities and contrasting understandings, which together make up a rich matrix of theoretical positions.
