“Space is a social morphology: it is to lived experience what form itself is to the living organism, and just as intimately bound up with function and structure … what we are concerned with, then, is the long history of space, even though space is neither a ‘subject’ or an ‘object’ but rather a social reality – that is to say, a set of relations and forms”
