Space vs. spatiality SPACE • Absolute; e. g. Aristotle, Euclid, Des Cartes, Newton • Objective, empirical, analytical • Directly represent underlying data structure. SPATIALITY • “Read”; socially constructed; post-modern • Represent or reflect user’s mental model • Designed, built, or enlivened. (Dodge & Kitchin, 2001 b)
