Appendix: Technical documentation and project plan 07 11 28- 13 07 11 28- 14 Re-Place-ing Space: The Roles of Place and Context Space in Collaborative Systems • Key point • Published 1996 • Dsign for place not space • CSCW • MUDS • Collaborative environments 07 11 28- 15 07 11 28- 16
Mantra • Space is the opportunity; place is the understood reality – About taking sociological issues into account – Borrow from architecture etc – Implications for design – Minor points, e.g. privacy is not absolute 07 11 28- 17 07 11 28- 18 Place • a place is a space which is invested with understandings of behavioural appropriateness • House - home • Conference Hall - Concert Hall • Community Hall • Out of place - not out of space 07 11 28- 19 07 11 28- 20
Space • Spatiality is important • Shared Knowledge – Relational orientation and reciprocity. – Proximity and action – Partitioning – Presence and awareness 07 11 28- 21 07 11 28- 22 Place is In Space Place in Social Analysis • Places derive from their spatiality • what these analysts point to in human action is the how it is framed not only by spaces, • But also call up cultural understandings but by the pattern of understandings, which help us to frame our behaviour associations and expectations with which they are infused 07 11 28- 23 07 11 28- 24

For them, the idea of place derives from a context for engaging in and interpreting tension between connectedness and distinction action.
