Sense of Place

Hello, everyone! Today, I'll be discussing what I believe "sense of place" means in interior design and then give an example.
I believe that "sense of place" means that you can understand the what location that object, space, or building connects back to based on it's overall design and familiarity. For instance, anything with the Eiffel Tower or the Statue of Liberty on it; both of these are culturally important monuments. The Eiffel Tower is a basic representation of Paris, France, and the Statue of liberty is a representation of the US (although there's a smaller copy of it in France, but that's beside the point). Both of these objects are important to French and American culture, and they act as symbols of each country.
Below is an image of smaller representations of these monuments.
