2. what factors in modern building practice that contribute to 'placelessness'per the reading?

In the section "Culture versus nature," Frampton explains how modern building practices often turn their back on nature, resulting in "placelessness." He explains that leveling a site before construction is distancing the building from the surrounding context, and a better solution that engages the site would be to terrace the site and have the building form to the land. He continues to talk about light and how the use of artificial lighting versus natural light also contributes to placelessness. He explains that if natural light was used the space within a building would change "under the impact of time, season, humidity, etc" which create a very "place-conscious" effect. Lastly, he speaks of ventilation and how modern building practices rely on air conditions instead of natural ventilation which also distances the building from its environment.
