After reading Michel’s article, I have a clearer mindset on the difference between some similar words like “space & place” and “tour & map”. In my opinion, space can be everywhere, but a place is a space with having a history, story, memory, or special meaning for humans. We can take “home” as an example. I believe that no one would call their home space but not a place. It is because people have a lot of memory and story in their homes. We can also take “outer space” as another example. Why no one calls it “outer place”? It is because we don’t know it too much and haven’t our own story on it. I also think that space is not forever space and a place is not forever a place. If we can our story in a space, it will be a place for us. If we oblivion the story in a place, it will become a space.

Your example on home is on-point. Most people live in a flat/ house to have a home? The recent film Nomadland may spark some inspiration. You emphasized that story is the criterion for place-making, what are the other differences between place and space. For instance, names?
