This book is about perception, emotion, and affect in architecture: how and why we feel the way that we do and the ways in which our surroundings and bodies contribute to this. Our experience of architecture is an embodied one, with all our senses acting in concert as we move through time and space. The book picks up where much of the critique of architectural aestheticism at the end of the twentieth century left off: illustrating the limitations and potential consequences of attending to architecture as the visually biased practice which has steadily become the status quo within both industry and education. It draws upon interdisciplinary research to elucidate the reasons why this is counter-productive to the creation of meaningful places and to articulate the embodied richness of our touching encounters. A "felt-phenomenology" is introduced as a more-than visual alternative capable of sustaining our physical, emotional, and psychological well-being. By recognising the reciprocal and participatory relationship that exists between atmospheric affect and our (phenomenological) bodies, we begin to appreciate the manifold ways in which we touch, and are touched, by our built environment. As such, Touching Architecture will appeal to those with an interest in architectural history and theory as well as those interested in the topic of atmospheres, affect, and embodied perception.

Shinberg has done something truly impressive: He has created a practical framework for architectural thinking and design, grounded in the latest research on human perception and cognition. His ideas and insights offer a fresh perspective that have helped me clarify many aspects of my own approach to design. —Stefan Behling, Architect, Senior Executive Partner, Head of Studio, Foster+Partners, London This book is a must-read for architects and designers at any stage of their career. His inspiring and practical narrative makes even the most complex concepts accessible. Along the way, he offers aspiring and experienced professionals a fresh perspective to reignite their passion for architecture. —Andrea de Paiva, Architect, Urban Planner, and Author, Director of NeuroAU at the University of Brasilia Milton Shinberg is at the vanguard of architects convinced that the design of buildings for people to flourish should incorporate a deep understanding of human psychology and neuroscience. A very clearly written book, rich with reflections from the science of human emotions, embodiment, and aesthetics, People-Centered Architecture will greatly enhance architectural thinking, education, and practice. —Anjan Chatterjee, MD, FAAN, Professor of Neurology, Psychology, and Architecture, University of Pennsylvania A veteran architect’s pragmatic guide to re-energizing design thinking, architectural practice and architectural education, with pivotal insights from the human sciences and wisdom harvested from non-architects. People-Centered Architecture: Design Practice Education is a unique and probing exploration designed to help architects better serve everyone who uses what architects design. In this one-of-a-kind book, architect and educator Milton Shinberg presents game-changing approaches to enhance, reorient, and re-energize design thinking. Shinberg draws from decades of dialogue with architects, designers, clients, artists, scientists, teachers, and his own students. His prompts and provocations, written in a clear and accessible narrative style, are organized to help architects, who are humanists, come to know much more about humans. Wise design becomes easier. In one concise volume, People-Centered Architecture: Design Practice Education delivers a vibrant framework for architectural practice, for students and teachers of architecture, and for clients and stakeholders. Through this book, each will see their project partners more clearly, more empathetically, and in ways that foster richer, better brainstorming and more productive collaboration. The “coalition of the curious,” people intrigued by architecture and architects, will get a peak behind the curtain.

This issue of the 'philosophy of the city' includes articles by scholars on a range of human sciences, from media theory to aesthetics and architectural theory. Philosophy, social ontology, cultural anthropology, aesthetics, digital hermeneutics, media theory, cognitive science: these are just some of the disciplines that contribute to the philosophy of the city. This variety of approaches doesn't necessarily result in a chaotic mix. Many of the included forms of discourse belong to the same episteme, which means there are many connections and overlaps. This is true both in the literatures of reference and in the ways of answering the question of what 'the city' is. Secondly, the texts don't focus on the city itself, but on those who live in, design, imagine and think about it. Thirdly, because these texts create a place where different ideas can live together. This is like a city, where ideas change, are built on and then rebuilt. This is what Wittgenstein wrote about in his Philosophical Investigations.

Bare Architecture: a schizoanalysis, is a poststructural exploration of the interface between architecture and the body. Chris L. Smith skilfully introduces and explains numerous concepts drawn from poststructural philosophy to explore the manner by which the architecture/body relation may be rethought in the 21st century. Multiple well-known figures in the discourses of poststructuralism are invoked: Gilles Deleuze and Félix Guattari, Roland Barthes, Georges Bataille, Maurice Blanchot, Jorges Luis Borges and Michel Serres. These figures bring into view the philosophical frame in which the body is formulated. Alongside the philosophy, the architecture that Smith comes to refer to as 'bare architecture' is explored. Smith considers architecture as a complex construction and the book draws upon literature, art and music, to provide a critique of the limits, extents and opportunities for architecture itself. The book considers key works from the architects Douglas Darden, Georges Pingusson, Lacatan and Vassal, Carlo Scarpa, Peter Zumthor, Marco Casagrande and Sami Rintala and Raumlabor. Such works are engaged for their capacities to foster a rethinking of the relation between architecture and the body.

Scale in cities is relative and absolute. It has the ability to make us feel at home in the world or alien from it; connected or disconnected. Both large and small scale in cities can be beautiful; both are right, neither is wrong. Whilst accepting that prescription is no answer, 'getting the scale right' – at an intuitive and sensual level – is a fundamental part of the magic of architecture and urban design. Touching the City explores how scale is manifested in cities, exploring scale in buildings, in the space between them and in their details. It asks how scale makes a difference. Travelling from Detroit to Chandigarh, via New York, London, Paris, Rome and Doha, Tim Makower explores cities with the analytical eye of a designer and with the experiential eye of the urban dweller. Looking at historic cities, he asks what is good about them: what can we learn from the old to inform the new? The book zooms in from the macro scale of surfing Google Earth to micro moments such as finding fossils in a weathered wall. It examines the dynamics and movement patterns of cities, the making of streets and skylines, the formation of thresholds and facades, and it also touches on the process of design and the importance of drawing. As the book's title, Touching the City, suggests, it also emphasises the tactile – that the city is indeed something physical, something we can touch and be touched by, alive and ever changing.
