Notes:
Cheek wrote of the University of Washington's Red Square: "we often feel energized when we encounter vastness in nature....We feel like were snuggling up to immortality, something greater than ourselves....But we tend to have the opposite emotional reaction in the face of man-made monumentality. We feel belittled and over-whelmed. It's probably a learned response, because we associate huge, monolithic structures with impersonal institutions." (p. C2)
