The experience of movement, of moving through buildings, cities,
landscapes and in everyday life, is the only involvement most
individuals have with the built environment on a daily basis. Yet
this concept of user experience is so often neglected in
architectural study and practice. This book tackles this complex
subject for the first time, providing the wide range of
perspectives needed to tackle this multi-disciplinary topic.
Organised in four parts it: documents the architect's, planner's,
or designer's approach, looking at how they have sought to deploy
buildings as a promenade and how they have thought or written about
it. concentrates on the individual's experience, and particularly
on the primacy of walking, which engages other senses besides the
visual. engages with society and social rituals, and how mutually
we define the spaces through which we move, both by laying out
routes and boundaries and by celebrating thresholds. analyses how
we deal with promenades which are not experienced directly but via
other mediums such as computer models, drawings, film and
television.The wide selection of contributors include academics and
practitioners and discuss cases from across the US, UK, Europe and
Asia. By mingling such disparate voices in a carefully curated
selection of chapters, the book enlarges the understanding of
architects, architectural students, designers and planners,
alerting them to the many and complex issues involved in the
experience of movement.
