- We percieve atmosphere through our emotional sensibility
- We are capable of immediate appreciation, of a spontaneous emotional response, of rejecting things in a flash
- Factors in creating Atmosphere:
- The body of Architecture
- it collects different things and materials and combines them to create a space
- Material Compatibility
- materials react w/ one another so that the material composition gives rise to something unique
- Sound of the Space
- sound of people walking through; of the quiet; its eb and flow
- Temperature of a Space
- materials can extract warmth from our bodies
- temperature (to temper) searching for the right mood
- Surrounding Objects
- Between Composure & Seduction
- movement (free or directed)
- Tension between Interior & Exterior
- Levels of Intimacy
- The Light of Things
Questions I had:
- Which materials can make us warmer or cooler?
- How did he create (or how would one recreate) the atmosphere of "sauntering" or movement and flow in the Swiss Thermal Bath?
- If atmosphere is our emotional response and this can vary from person to person, how can you ensure someone doesn't experience the atmosphere differently than your intent?
