New ways of exploring Place..

Hi!

hope everyone is ok, this is the next installment of our blog on exploring place and how place is percieved to those who are in certain places, and differnt perspectives looking in on place. The previous blog, along with this one are designed to act as resources, to provide a few varied insights into place, and what place means to everyone.

Hopefully these provide a chance for you make your own minds up, and from a few opinions of your own, on the concept that is Place!! unfortunately we cannot upload the following videos so we have provided some hyperlinks, and a brief outline of what we felt was being portrayed in them, please have a look if you can, any feedback would be welcomed!!
