Any info on rural spacesyntax? I notice from the spacesyntaxlab that
everyone is preoccupied with urban space. We are particularly interested in
this as we are involved in an emotional/geographical mapping project right
now.
yeah I haven't seen much on rural areas, betrays funding/policy priorities i suppose! There is some stuff in:
Hanson, J, (1998) Decoding Homes and Houses. Cambridge University Press.
on rural area houses/compounds in rural areas eg Mongolia that you might be interested in
Also a whole bunch of anthropological stuff that looks at the experiencing space/place, a good starting place would be:
Feld, S and Basso,, K. H. (eds) 1996. Senses of Place. School of American Research Press. Santa Fe: NM. (it's in the National Library in Edinburgh if you have access to their collection).
In particular there is a really nice paper in that collection, getting back to the soundscapes idea, the considers the auditory aspects of experiencing place:
Feld S. 1996. Waterfalls of Song: An Acoustemology of Place Resounding in Bosavi, Papua New Guinea pp91-135
