This is the first study of Renaissance architecture as an
immersive, multisensory experience that combines historical
analysis with the evidence of first-hand accounts. Questioning the
universalizing claims of contemporary architectural
phenomenologists, David Karmon emphasizes the infinite variety of
meanings produced through human interactions with the built
environment. His book draws upon the close study of literary and
visual sources to prove that early modern audiences paid sustained
attention to the multisensory experience of the buildings and
cities in which they lived. Through reconstructing the Renaissance
understanding of the senses, we can better gauge how constant
interaction with the built environment shaped daily practices and
contributed to new forms of understanding. Architecture and the
Senses in the Italian Renaissance offers a stimulating new approach
to the study of Renaissance architecture and urbanism as a kind of
'experiential trigger' that shaped ways of both thinking and being
in the world.
