Sensing Architecture : Essays on the Nature of Architectural Experience EPUB

Sensing Architecture sets out to provide a thoughtful commentary on our lived experience of inhabiting the world from several different and often surprising angles. The essays derive from a symposium of the same name held in March 2014 at the Royal Academy of Arts, London, which accompanied the exhibition 'Sensing Spaces: Architecture Reimagined', in which seven leading architects created unique installations that the public was invited to move through and explore. Four papers from the symposium are included in this collection in revised and expanded form. They are joined by an essay from curator Kate Goodwin reflecting in detail on
 the ideas that informed 'Sensing Spaces', introduced with a series of images of the exhibition taken by the architectural photographer Helene Binet. This collection is conceived to complement the exhibition's insights and to offer further consideration of the different registers of ideas - philosophical, psychological, social and economic - that shape our experience of architecture.
