“We have to learn to think space. The space of the non-place creates neither identity nor relation, but solitude and similarity. The place is threefold symbolic in that it accounts for the relationship of each of its occupants with himself, with the other occupants and with the common history. The multiplication of non-places, as I have already indicated, is characteristic of the contemporary world, spaces in which one has only the condition of passenger or consumer.”
