Questions

What is the most distinguishing feature in each place?
Heavener: The most distinguishing feature of this academic hall is the pristine quality of every internal element, from the marble floors to the study tables and even just the arrangements of desks in the classrooms. Every space is very well planned out and furnished in a way that suggests careful consideration of the academic setting.
EX-Bambooville: The most distinguishing feature of this space in nature is the absence of any outdoor furniture relative to how the space was about a year ago. There used to be tables, chairs, and a hammock but now there's just paths and emptiness. The location of the space is still nice, being nestled in between several towering buildings yet still maintaining its beauty in how sunlight travels through the forest trees.

What is the purpose or goal of each place?
Heavener: The purpose of this hall is to facilitate the education of business and other entrepreneurial based majors. It's open to UF's general public and seems like a very nice place to get away from the rest of campus to study.
EX-Bambooville: I infer that the original purpose of this space was for students to provide themselves a nice outdoor environment to relax and socialize. I think it still maintains its quality as an outdoor retreat but to a lesser degree now.

What is the essential quality of each place?
Heavener: This hall was constructed through millions of dollars of donations by prestigious UF alumnus for the endowment of undergraduate business education, including professional development, leadership and business ethics.
EX-Bambooville: Bambooville was an art installation put into place by UF alumni, Jon Anderson, with the permission of the owner of the nearby greenhouse by Carr Hall. The installation was a project that Anderson would spend 10-12 hours on every week, arranging new fixtures, furniture, and decorations throughout 2014.

How do people react to each place?
Heavener: When walking into Heavener Hall its hard not to be impressed by the lavish decorations and overall cleanliness of the facility.
EX-Bambooville: Just walking with my own group I remember seeing a bundle of sticks hanging from a tree and being saddened by this last remnant of a human site that once provided people a relaxing escape from academia. The site is completely empty and it was difficult for my group members to receive any positive interpretation of the space beyond what I was telling them about.

How do you explain/compare/contrast 2 places in terms of physical and psychological quality?
Heavener hall is a four story business college venture that was funded by millionaires and designed in such a cutting edge fashion that it's difficult to imagine any legitimate criticisms against it, unless you happen to be a money-hating communist in which case you probably shouldn't be in school anyways. The building is massive, in pristine condition, and I predict it fulfills its intended functions to the tee. I find the prospect of studying and having meetings at such a hall as something I'd thoroughly enjoy.

Bambooville was an art installation site built by a nature enthusiast for college kids to hang out at. It was built on school grounds with no say-so by any UF groundskeeper and was removed because it's only purpose was for lounging about. For those who enjoy the beauty of the outdoors, Bambooville was a very pleasing site, but is now nothing more than logs and tree stumps, an overall underwhelming experience.

What is your definition of “natural place” and “unnatural place”?    
A natural place is one that came about with no involvement of mankind, meaning a human did not alter the environment in any way, shape, or form. An unnatural place is one that exists thanks to the efforts of human development. While it is possible to coexist in nature without altering anything in ones environment, I would argue that any semblance of organized structure is undeniably unnatural in essence. Whether its a house made of sticks or rocks, if a man removed it from its original position and arranged it in a way that it would not come about on its own, it is an unnatural place.
