On Discomfort (eBook, ePUB)

Moments in a Modern History of Architectural Culture
Redaktion: Ellison, David; Leach, Andrew

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

While the significance of the interior has recently been explored from a range of disciplinary perspectives, there has been no extensive study of discomfort, or the role it plays in the cultural history of architecture. By examining discomfort's physical, emotional, conceptual, psychological and aesthetic impact on the experience of architecture, the contributors to this volume offer an alternate, cultural approach to the study of architecture and the built environment.
