Ben Stewart Landscapes of the Sacred 2

In Belden C. Lanes book landscapes of the sacred he talks about the difference between Topos and Chora. He defines Topos as just a normal location. Topos is a place that does not have any meaning really whatsoever. Chora is a place that has an energizing force. I guess that chora would be places that have been ritually made extraordinary or are sacred for some other reason.
