There is a link between words and environments. Normally when we say the word, school we then see the image of a building. What would happen if we tried to see it the other way around? In looking at buildings I found letters appear.
“The goose quill put an end to talk. It abolished mystery; it gave architecture and towns; it brought roads and armies, bureaucracy. It was the basic metaphor with which the cycle of civilization began, the step from the dark into the light of the mind. The hand that filled the parchment page built the city.”- Marshall Mcluhan (The Medium is the Massage).
