Liminal space and non-place

I’ve been doing more research around liminal spaces and Marc Augé’s non places.

Here are some quotes and concepts I particularly liked from a video called “The Architecture of Liminal Space” by Stewart Hicks (published to Youtube on 5/3/21, Accessed 17/5/21) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pL3bqQRLvsQ

• liminal spaces are “anonymous places where everyone feels lonely” no matter how many people are around.
• also called “Junkspace” by architect Rem Koolhaus “Junkspace is huge and it is full of absence” and “Junkspace is what remains after modernism has run its course”
• what can help give images a liminal feel as it “takes on an uncanny quality because the viewer is enveloped in the space of the image itself”
• “digital wastelands of unreal spaces” (saving that one for Amy)
• “things that seem both familiar and unfamiliar at the same time”
• “skeptical acceptance of undesirable inevitability”
