This research is Looking into relationship between Space and Human
How do we normally perceive place? We have learned and experienced distinguish space and place. If there is empty space without any signs, we think of the space as just space. However, If there are any signs in empty space, we will perceive those spaces as places. This is a very clear thing that how we perceive space, but it is hard to notice this clear phenomenon.
Let's see examples,
Figure 1 Asphalt (space)
Figure 2 Lines and cars on asphalt = car parking lots (place)
There are many signs spaces to perceive as places. People reproduce space to be a place by how they use those spaces. Maybe all of the things could be the sign as we learn how to read and understand things from our experience and culture as well.

I have noticed that how I perceived a space as a place. This is all from my past experience that if there is sth, this space of for that. Guessing the purpose of space from object is the process that I percieve space as a place. From this process of perception, cultural effects roled on my thinking process to understand space. Space is identified and defined by things/objects in my perception.
