Stealthy Space: space that cannot be found, is camouflaged or, more commonly, is obscured by
such view impediments as intervening objects or grade changes. Ex. the Poets' Walk Garden.
Slippery Space: space that cannot be reached, due to contorted, protracted, or missing paths of
approach. Such a strategy is costly, as it may require obfuscating numerous routes or access
extending well beyond any single site. Ex. California Plaza's Watercourt.
Crusty Space: Space that cannot be accessed, due to obstructions such as walls, gates and
checkpoints. Ex. LA County Museum of Art's grounds and sculpture garden at Hancock Park.
Prickly Space: Space that cannot be comfortably occupied, defended by such details as wall-
mounted sprinkler heads activated to clear loiterers.
Jittery Space: Space that cannot be utilized unobserved due to active monitoring by roving
patrols and/or remote technologies feeding to security stations
According to Lewis, what are Subjective, Objective, Arbitrary, and Definitions with
Purpose? Provide your own examples of the four types of definitions. What types of
definitions are discussed in the Flusty and Whitehorn texts. Subjective, Objective,
Arbitrary, and Definitions with Purpose?
Arbitrary: a definition by decree, socially true, but not necessarily true in any physical sense.
Ex. Breakfast - The most important meal of the day.
