There is fast-growing awareness of the role atmospheres play in
architecture. Of equal interest to contemporary architectural
practice as it is to aesthetic theory, this 'atmospheric turn' owes
much to the work of the German philosopher Gernot Boehme.
Atmospheric Architectures: The Aesthetics of Felt Spaces brings
together Boehme's most seminal writings on the subject, through
chapters selected from his classic books and articles, many of
which have hitherto only been available in German. This is the only
translated version authorised by Boehme himself, and is the first
coherent collection deploying a consistent terminology. It is a
work which will provide rich references and a theoretical framework
for ongoing discussions about atmospheres and their relations to
architectural and urban spaces. Combining philosophy with
architecture, design, landscape design, scenography, music, art
criticism, and visual arts, the essays together provide a key to
the concepts that motivate the work of some of the best
contemporary architects, artists, and theorists: from Peter
Zumthor, Herzog & de Meuron and Juhani Pallasmaa to Olafur
Eliasson and James Turrell. With a foreword by Professor Mark
Dorrian (Forbes Chair in Architecture, Edinburgh College of Art)
and an afterword by Professor David Leatherbarrow, (Chair of the
Graduate Group in Architecture, University of Pennsylvania), the
volume also includes a general introduction to the topic, including
coverage of it history, development, areas of application and
conceptual apparatus.
