“The conceptualization of the urban environment as a text parallels that of architectural objects as words of a language. If the city becomes a text, the citizen becomes a reader. ” - Martin Krampen – (1979). Meaning in the Urban Environment, pg 33.  A man in a bottomless cesspool, I know you, solitary whimpers. “...the environment we perceive around us can be seen as a series of continua that the language system divides into meaningful parts and relationships between the terms used in identifying those parts. It is also important to note that we use a wide range of concepts and conceptual distinctions that actually have no referent in the reality that is independent of language and its concepts. ” - Pertti Alasuurtari – (1995). Researching culture. Qualitative Method and Cultural Studies, pg 29.  Home is a space, supposed to make me feel secure, to comfort me to sleep every night or sometimes morning, but this never has been the case.
