This book offers an ethnographic exploration of the role that
atmosphere plays in work processes undertaken within an urban
design studio. It provides understandings of how architectural
practices are fuelled with atmosphere in various configurations
throughout different design phases of selected projects for
construction. From the outside architectural practices commonly
appear well-ordered and carefully considered, established by proof
and rationally justified. This book though poaches on architects'
preserves in order to draw attention to features of
unpredictability and uncertainty within the design phases. By
opening up into the 'machinery room' of urban designers, the goal
is not to spoil the plaster saint cover of a 'starchitect'
business, but to remind about the crucial value that pockets of
doubt issuing questions rather than answers, open-mindedness
instead of single-mindedness, play to the processes of design
production and creativity. The book identifies these pockets as
atmospheres enveloping the architectural practice.
