Representational spaces

“Space as directly lived through its associated images and symbols, and hence the space of ‘inhabitants’ and ‘users’, but also of some artists and perhaps of those, such as a few writers and philosophers, who describe and aspire to do no more that describe. This is the dominated -and hence passively experienced- space which the imagination seeks to change and appropriate. It overlays physical space, making symbolic use of its objects. Thus representational spaces may be said, though again with certain exceptions, to tend towards more of less coherent systems of non-verbal symbols and signs.”
Henri Lefebvre
