Sharr sets out to describe the nature of lectures and papers written by 'Martin Heidegger'. This literature discusses and questions the nature of space, do we dwell in space or just build? discussing contemporary living. "He drew attention to to terms like 'residential' and 'housing' which emphasise production systems over the priorities of human in habitation."(Sharr 2007 pg 39)
The nature in which we inhabit space is questioned throughout the book with a view to architecture, "Building as construction' or 'building with nurturing'(Sharr 2007 pg 40) how do we occupy our space and what emotional involvement do we have with it?
As we become involved with Heideggers notions on space we can begin to discuss personal notions on defining space and recognising the difference between a place or the edge of it or boundary. As designers we interact with space developing a place, within a magazine layout that an image may sit, surrounded by a boundary discussed by body text. However we may not dwell within these spaces for long, we construct them for the viewer to dwell in, to build a emotional connection with. Therefore our personal understanding of building these spaces using grids can inform a relationship with the viewer much in the same way an architect would discuss a structure.
