Street as object

"In order to grasp this fleeting object, which is not exactly an object, it is therefore necessary to situate oneself simultaneously inside and outside. A balcony does the job admirably, in relation to the street, and it is to this putting into perspective (of the street) that we owe the marvelous invention of balconies, and that of the terrace from which one dominates the road and passers-by." — Henri Lefebvre, Rythmanalysis (pp27-8)
