We were talking about this earlier today and the idea of how territories govern our life . I think this is pretty relevant.

Architectural structures have a significant existential and mental task. They domesticate space for human occupation by turning anonymous, uniform and limitless space into distinct places of human significance and equally importantly they make endless time tolerable by giving duration its human measure...
Juhani Pallasman.

Architecture helps to replace meaningless reality with a theatrically, or rather architecturally, transformed reality which draws us in and, as we surrender to it, grants us an illusion of meaning.. we cannot live with chaos. Chaos must be transformed into cosmos.
Karsten Harries
