Cognition and the Built Environment argues that interacting with
our built environment, as users and as architects, is a cognitive
process. It claims that architecture, in its form and meaning, is a
basic, embodied level of human cognition. The assumption is that we
and our built environment together form an intelligent system, a
cognitive feedback loop between us and the world of which we are
part. With this as a vantage point, the book discusses the meaning
and intelligence of concrete architectural environments as well as
the agency of the architect, of his client and of the user. The
inquiry oscillates between abstract thought, topological models and
cognitive semiotics, between pragmatist philosophy and the
professional practice of planning cities, developing projects and
using objects. Architecture serves more complex purposes than our
caves, paths and landmarks did. Written for students and academics
of urban design, urban planning and architectural theory, Cognition
and the Built Environment argues that human cognition feeds on the
interaction between thought, agency and built environment, and that
architecture is the spatial form of this interaction.
