This is why sites are not just seen, but (perhaps even more so) they are felt (147)
So can a "site" be almost like an experience of sorts?
-
In this way, place becomes decoupled from the notion of situs, or fixed (series of) locations, and linked instead to the in-between en/action of events and encounters.
I think this is a fascinating and very comprehensive topic sentence. It connects to the essay's main aim by emphasizing the fluctuation of a location-- thus alluding to the fact that there is a network in a location, which is a living, breathing thing.

s, as they accrete over
To me, this links back to what Edbauer (Rice) was saying about temporality and the connection of that to the sender to receiver model. Networks cannot be rooted in one fragment of time, she claims, because then they become inflexible-- they may be perceived differently at different times, may reform over time, or many grow over time. Likewise, with the sender-receiver model, that is not a one and done thing. Perception of a message is flexible. So this begs the question, how do we recognize temporality in our rhetoric?

These architectural features serve to keep out those who are not expressly allowed in
It all sounds highly animalistic; there are pens and traps and gates to keep people "safe."
-
If someone wanted to walk or bike to another area, then, it might have to be along the shoulder of a busy road or on the road itself.
It's chilling to think about the lack of safety that goes along with this. The lack of concern when creating these environments is disturbing, whether the decisions are conscious or not.

The first two methods of discrimination have received sustained attention from legal scholars; the third form, which I refer to as architecture, has not.
I think this is a really interesting, yet possibly misguided point. I would agree that more scholarly research has been conducted on social and legal inequality and that less has been done on architectural injustice. However, I would also argue that there has been a movement against architectural injustice led primarily by victims themselves. Housing equality is a major focus for those living in neglected areas who are politically inclined. There were demonstrations against tenement living styles in New York in the early 1900's. MLK led a housing equality movement in Chicago in the late sixties. As there are fewer scholars reigning from these areas, the author has a point, but she also seems to be dismissing the fight communities stuck in poverty have been putting up. Scholarly research may be limited on this topic, but the discussion has been going on for generations.
