Harry Francis Mallgrave combines a history of ideas about
architectural experience with the latest insights from the fields
of neuroscience, cognitive science and evolutionary biology to make
a powerful argument about the nature and future of architectural
design. Today, the sciences have granted us the tools to help us
understand better than ever before the precise ways in which the
built environment can affect the building user's individual
experience. Through an understanding of these tools, architects
should be able to become better designers, prioritizing the
experience of space - the emotional and aesthetic responses, and
the sense of homeostatic well-being, of those who will occupy any
designed environment. In From Object to Experience, Mallgrave goes
further, arguing that it should also be possible to build an
effective new cultural ethos for architectural practice. Drawing
upon a range of humanistic and biological sources, and emphasizing
the far-reaching implications of new neuroscientific discoveries
and models, this book brings up-to-date insights and theoretical
clarity to a position that was once considered revolutionary but is
fast becoming accepted in architecture.
