Résumé en anglais
Finding, knowing and defining the spirit of a place has always beena challenge for the men of culture since the time of the Roman Empire: “the
Genius Locis”. This essay tries to tackle this complex and cunning subject.Because this is the first time someone tries to tackle it in our realm or
environment, I will consider of great value any suggestions regarding its focus,methodology and conclusion.
