Yes, I think much of our recent discussions about architectural
spaces&places, if phrased in terms of an activity system analysis would
have the location as one of the mediating artifacts. It may often not be
foregrounded in analysis, but if we *do* take a look at the physical
setting it can be seen as inscribed with some of the community rules as
well as with community division-of-labour... this would not be
deterministic (I have listened to the arguments) but would be submitted to
historical change. And, as an artifact with a comparatively long timespan
of use, it will accumulate a sedimentation of its uses.
Hmm... another variation of my archaeological rondo.
