Stonehenge, Machu Picchu, Confederate statues, Egyptian pyramids,
and medieval cathedrals: these are some of the places that are the
subject of Making Sense of Monuments, an analysis of how the built
environment molds human experiences and perceptions via bodily
comparison. Drawing from recent research in cognitive neuroscience,
psychology, and semiotics, Michael J. Kolb explores the mechanics
of the mind, the material world, and the spatialization process of
monumental architecture. Three distinct spatial-cognitive
metaphors-time, movement, and scale-comprise strands of knowledge
that when interwoven create embodied contours of meaning of how
human interact with monumental spaces. Comprehensive, lucidly
written, and thoroughly illustrated, Making Sense of Monuments is a
vibrant, extraordinary journey of the monuments we have constructed
and inhabited.
