Kenopsia is the eerie, forlorn atmosphere of a place that is usually bustling with people but is now abandoned and quiet, such as an empty school hallway at night or a deserted city street. Coined by John Koenig, it describes the emotional, nostalgic void felt in spaces that once held vibrant life

-- following this I saw a video by the functional melancholist (link in comment) that explores this further

he eg talks about "The architecture of meaning without the meaning in it "

and

"The building knew something about you that you didn't know about yourself yet "

curious what these little nuggets of inspiration will bring forth in this forum?
