Description

Touching Architecture: A New Perspective on Perception and Emotion in Built Environments. This book explores how we experience architecture, focusing on the ways our surroundings and bodies interact to shape our emotions and perceptions. It challenges traditional views of architecture as primarily a visual practice, arguing that this approach can lead to the creation of unfulfilling spaces. Instead, it introduces a new framework for understanding the complex relationships between atmosphere, affect, and human embodiment. By examining the reciprocal relationship between our physical presence and the built environment, Touching Architecture offers a fresh perspective on the ways we touch and are touched by our surroundings. This book will appeal to those interested in architectural history and theory, as well as those drawn to the topics of atmospheres, affect, and embodied perception.
