 This element will analyze the diagramming of space.  Space can be defined as urban spaces, community spaces, personal spaces, campus spaces, and geographical spaces.  This analysis will take into consideration race, education, social economic class, geographic and political themes.

Space is interdisciplinary. Consider those who study geography.

Space can show that land is private properties within a larger space, some of which is public.

Air space and flight routes (here’s an image of the radar at LAX)

And sea routes

 Geographic spaces, such as the Grand Canyon, can be explained by science and centuries of geological changes.

 Its meaning differs from, say…

 …the meaning – and purpose – of Disneyland.

 Is there an identity?

The diagramming of space can show efforts to implement Modernity in every space. Modernity: The quality or condition of being modern; modernness of character or style.

Modernity: An intellectual tendency or social perspective characterized by departure from or repudiation of traditional ideas, doctrines, and cultural values in favour of contemporary or radical values and beliefs (chiefly those of scientific rationalism and liberalism). In the late 20 th Century: Often defined by social movements.

and there is private space

and sometimes private space is public…

They are defined by cultural perspectives. Is there one culture that defines Los Angeles? Or many?

Here is an example of Public Space- MacArthur Park

Community utilizing public space (MacArthur Park).

And an example of public space suddenly becoming private space…

 Space, like other genres of rhetoric, have the following:  A Writer or Composer (e.g. Architect)  A Topic (In this case, the type of Space)  A Purpose (A philosophy for purposing the space)  An Audience (those who enter the space)  Context (how and why the space is composed)

 No, not like asteroids…the objects that help define a space. (e.g. Chalkboards in a class versus state-of-the-art projectors say what about the campus?)  What about electronics?
