Abstract

The word “place” is entering the architectural vocabulary, gaining upon the notion of “space”. Despite its intuitive clearness, “well-placedness” is rarely used in the architectural discourse. It is mostly used at architectural meetings and discussions concerning the environmental context of a new building. However, it is worth recalling well-placedness not only in rhetoric, but also in architecture. In the art of the 20th century there was a keynote theory of “ill-placedness”, which beat the former ideas of well-placedness.
