This document discusses the concept of atmosphere in architecture. It provides historical context for the idea that buildings can elicit emotional responses, dating back to 18th century French theory. The current debate is shaped by the work of Gernot Böhme and Peter Zumthor, who emphasize the role of emotions and feelings in architectural experience. Atmosphere is seen as a fundamental aspect of how spaces are perceived and experienced in an affective, bodily way. The theory has been applied to understand both architectural interiors and urban spaces, and how atmospheres influence social interactions and the politics of the city.
The document summarizes four reaction papers written by a student for an architecture course. The first paper discusses Kenneth Frampton's ideas about relating a building's form to the natural context and resisting placelessness. The second paper compares ideology and theory in architecture and discusses how semiotics can help develop theories. The third paper emphasizes that architecture should evoke emotions through experience rather than just visual form. The fourth paper summarizes Jane Jacobs's work on failures of city planning and new principles for rebuilding cities.

Architectural Prototype in Ambiguity Contexts: Degree Zero and Multidimension...CrimsonPublishersAAOA
This document discusses using architectural prototypes to guide regional architectural design in China. It begins by discussing China's rapid urbanization and issues of lost spatial sense. It then reviews Roland Barthes' concept of "Degree Zero" writing and how minimal units can be analyzed. Finally, it proposes that the true meaning in architectural works lies in prototypes and transforming them while maintaining connections to history and tradition can inspire new designs. By analyzing prototypes at multiple dimensions and contexts, regional design may better resonate with human experience.

Synopsis of Theories of Urbanism and Architecturejernjack
- The document discusses four reaction papers written by a student named Lim Jern Jack in response to readings about architecture and theory.
- The first paper discusses a text by Frank Lloyd Wright about architecture complementing nature rather than being driven by technology.
- The second paper examines a text interviewing Jacques Derrida about deconstructive architecture and how it creates new histories.
- The third paper analyzes a text about how senses and memory shape perceptions of space.
- The fourth paper considers Kenneth Frampton's ideas about critical regionalism and resisting placelessness in large urban regions.
Frank Lloyd Wright argues that architecture should focus on honesty, simplicity, and integrating with nature. He believes styles should not be limited and that architecture is best when created independently with variety. Pallasma discusses how human senses interact with architecture through experiences of space, light, shadows, and other qualities. Frampton advocates for critical regionalism, where architecture derives elements from a place to strengthen regional identity while engaging with modern techniques and universal values.

Theories of Architecture & Urbanism (ARC 61303)
The document summarizes three reaction papers written by a student on architectural theory texts. The first paper discusses the book "Learning From Las Vegas" and how it analyzes Las Vegas as using architectural symbols and signs effectively. The second paper discusses the book "The Geometry of Feeling" and how it argues that a building's form alone does not determine its purpose and that user experience is also important. The third paper discusses two chapters from the text "Towards a Critical Regionalism", which argues that architecture should be more integrated with its natural environment and engage more than just visual senses.
The document summarizes a reaction paper about the text "Towards a Critical Regionalism" by Kenneth Frampton. Frampton discusses balancing modern techniques with traditional forms and consideration of the surrounding natural environment to create buildings with a unique sense of place. The student agrees that critical regionalism requires moderate adaptation of modern designs with consideration of tangible context. Additionally, the student believes that architecture should engage more than just sight and should incorporate how spaces make the body and mind react through tactility. Bridging tectonics and tactility is seen as essential to forming buildings with both a universal and cultural identity.
The document summarizes three reaction papers by a student on architectural theory readings. The first discusses Le Corbusier's view that revolution has improved society through new tools and industrialization but also reduced humans, arguing that architecture and revolution both aid evolution. The second covers Robert Venturi's preference for complexity and contradiction in architecture over simplicity. The third summarizes Juhani Pallasmaa's perspective that architecture should evoke feelings through memories and experiences rather than just visual elements.
The document provides a synopsis and reaction paper for a course on theories of architecture and urbanism. It summarizes the key ideas from four readings on urban planning, semiotics in architecture, phenomenology of architecture, and critical regionalism. The student agrees with the authors' views and hopes future work can apply their concepts of semiotics, phenomenology, and critical regionalism to better understand cultural identity and context in architecture.
The document summarizes three reaction papers by Lynette Law Yong Yi responding to readings on architecture theory. The first paper discusses Frank Lloyd Wright's views on simplicity and integrity in architecture. The second paper covers Juhani Pallasmaa's perspective that architecture is experienced through perception and memory rather than just form. The third paper examines Kenneth Frampton's concept of Critical Regionalism as a response to placelessness in modern architecture.
This document contains summaries of four readings related to architecture and urbanism. The first summary discusses an article about critical regionalism and resisting homogenization while incorporating local traditions. The second summary describes a text about how sensory experiences and materials can make buildings unique. The third summary examines how space, place, memory and imagination are related. The last summary analyzes a piece about how the lifestyle and behavior of individuals differs between large cities and small towns.
The document summarizes three reaction papers analyzing texts about architecture and urbanism. The first discusses Doreen Massey's concept of place as having fluid, interconnected social relations rather than fixed boundaries. The second examines Robert Venturi's Learning from Las Vegas, noting how symbolism and signs are important for communication at large scales like the Vegas Strip. The third analyzes Juhani Pallasma's argument that architecture prioritizes vision over other senses and should aim to provide rich multi-sensory experiences.
The document summarizes four texts related to architectural theory:
1) The Geometry of Feeling argues that architecture should communicate emotive experiences rather than just being physical objects. It should evoke sensory memories and feelings.
2) Learning from Las Vegas discusses how symbolism dominates architecture in Las Vegas and questions how commercialization affects design. Symbols create better spatial relationships than forms.
3) Towards a Critical Regionalism proposes responding to the peculiarities of place, like topography and climate, rather than seeking placelessness. It advocates a dialectical relationship with nature.
4) Tactile qualities are an essential part of how we perceive architecture, not just visual elements. Critical regionalism aims to complement visual experience with tact
The document summarizes four reaction papers written by a student on architectural theory readings.

The third paper analyzes the article "The Geometry of Feeling" about phenomenology of architecture and how it impacts the senses. The fourth paper reviews Kenneth Frampton's essay "Towards a Critical Regionalism" focusing on integrating culture and nature in architectural design.
Archetypal Concept And Contemporary Architectural CriticismKaren Gomez
This article analyzes the use of the concept of archetypes in architectural theory and criticism from the 1950s to today. It discusses how Carl Jung introduced the idea of archetypes as universal patterns from the unconscious mind, and how various architectural critics since then have applied and interpreted this concept in different ways. The article reviews texts that reference Jung's idea of archetypes to explore how the concept has been discussed within the field of architectural theory in the Western perspective. While the existence of architectural archetypes remains an open question, the article aims to trace the discourse around this concept over time through an analysis of relevant literature.
This paper discusses a book that examines the relationship between communication theory, semiotics, ideology, and architecture. The authors introduce the concept of ideology as referring to reality but only providing an illusion, and propose architectural theory as existing outside of ideology to explain the relationship between society and the built environment. They view semiotics as an important tool for architectural theory that can clarify the distinction between communication and signification. The authors see semiotics as a way to better understand how significance is produced in architecture and recommend it be used as part of a larger project rather than an outside concept imported alone. Semiotics may be useful as a way to counter ideology by allowing alternative perspectives on economic and political norms in architecture.
This document is a synopsis for a reaction paper on the text "The Feeling of Geometry A Look At The Phenomenology of Architecture" by Juhani Pallasmaa. It discusses several key points from the text, including that architecture should translate the intention of spaces through a sense of expression to bring quality to buildings. It also notes that architecture's form cannot be separated from its function to serve human beings, and that both form and function must work together to communicate. The synopsis is 324 words and includes a rubric for assessment on key points addressed, use of terminology, clarity of opinions, and logical progression.
2009 a conceptual and analytical framework for interpreting the spatiality ...Lee Pugalis
This paper provides a framework for understanding the phenomenon of the discursive-material production of space, and also, for considering how unknowns may be organised. Language is instrumental to the production of place but has been overshadowed by investigations of material transformations. This is partly being redressed by the ‘linguistic turn’ in urban policy analysis over recent decades which recognise the performative aspects of language. However, the methodological ‘gap’ between discursivities and materialities remains as too often analysis of urban policy discourse has taken an aspatial analytic approach. Representations of space cannot be divorced from spatial practices and vice versa. Based on my premise that many visions, plans and strategies never materialise, and even some that do materialise have little bearing on what is produced, a mixed-method approach is required that considers the recursive interactions between spatial practices and representations of space. Grounded in the theories of Henri Lefebvre and Michel Foucault, which conceptualis space as a social process and broaden discourse to embrace spatial practice respectively, I devise a conceptual and operational analytics which I refer to as interpretive-spatial analysis with the goal of helping to bridge the problematic ontological, epistemological and methodological divide between discursivities and materialities.
The document summarizes three reaction papers by a student on architectural theory readings. The first discusses Learning from Las Vegas, noting how the book analyzes Las Vegas' emphasis on symbols over forms in architecture and urban planning. The second covers The Geometry of Feeling, which examines how architecture can arouse personal feelings and memories through sensory experiences. The third is on Towards a Critical Regionalism, which emphasizes achieving regional identity in architecture by incorporating local culture, nature, and tactile sensory qualities over visual elements.
The document summarizes four reaction papers written by a student for an architecture course. The first paper discusses a book about how public spaces can influence community activities. The second paper analyzes a book on how semiology, or the study of signs and symbols, can impact the interpretation of architecture. The third paper examines a book arguing that architecture should balance local context and history with modern techniques. The fourth paper again discusses balancing regional identity and universal styles.
The document is a reaction paper by a student on the reading "From 'Towards a Critical Regionalism'" by Kenneth Frampton. The student agrees that technological factors have become important in designing spaces but believes nature cannot be replaced. The student also strongly agrees that tectonics are important for relating nature to indoor spaces and that human senses are necessary for architecture. While touch is important, the student disagrees that only one sense is most critical and believes the five senses need to work together to interpret architecture. The student concludes that architects can control emotions in spaces but must consider all human senses to create balance and an appropriate response.

This document discusses the debate between Mac and PC operating systems. It notes that while PCs are more popular due to higher software availability, Macs are actually more durable and useful. PCs have a wider variety of available software since most users own PCs. However, Macs last longer over time with continued software and operating system support. Overall the document argues that Macs provide better value than PCs despite their higher initial cost.

Pseudo seizure dogs can detect when a person is about to have a non-epileptic seizure and alert them. The dogs are trained to detect subtle cues in a person's behavior or physiology before a seizure occurs. They can alert the person by nudging or pawing them. This gives the person time to prepare for the seizure or seek help. The dogs' ability to predict seizures is remarkable and shows their strong bond with their owner. Their alerts allow people to gain more independence and feel safer knowing their dog is there to help.

Here are a few key philosophical problems with perception:
The Problem of Skepticism - How can we be certain that our perceptions accurately represent reality? Our perceptions could be misleading or deceptive. We have no way to directly compare our perceptions to reality itself. This leads to philosophical skepticism about what we can truly know.
The Problem of Qualia - There is a philosophical problem about the nature of subjective, first-person experiences (qualia) like the experience of redness or pain. It is unclear how physical processes in the brain give rise to conscious experiences with subjective qualities. The existence of qualia poses problems for physicalist explanations of the mind.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.
How to Manage Reception Report in Odoo 17Celine George
A business may deal with both sales and purchases occasionally. They buy things from vendors and then sell them to their customers. Such dealings can be confusing at times. Because multiple clients may inquire about the same product at the same time, after purchasing those products, customers must be assigned to them. Odoo has a tool called Reception Report that can be used to complete this assignment. By enabling this, a reception report comes automatically after confirming a receipt, from which we can assign products to orders.

ATMOSPHERE IN ARCHITECTURE
By Federico De Matteis
(First published May 31, 2020)
It. Atmosfera in architettura; Fr. Atmosphère dans l‘Architecture; Germ. Atmosphäre in der Architektur; Span.
Atmósfera en l‘arquitectura. In recent years, the notion of atmosphere has been widely adopted and
debated in the fields of architecture and urban design, both as a means to understand the affective
dimension of lived space and as a tool for its projected transformation. By connecting to a previous strain
of phenomenological thinking in architecture, “atmosphere” has been considered a fundamental category
to describe the sensuous and intuitive character of lived space surpassing the technical apparatus and
programmatic approach of contemporary design and building practices (Havik et al. 2013). The scientific
community’s deep interest in the topic has produced a wealth of scholarly research (e.g. Tidwell 2014),
symposia, thematic journal issues (e.g. Havik et al. 2013; Bressani, Sprecher 2019; Buggert et al. 2019) and
innovative pedagogic approaches for architectural education.
HISTORICAL PRECEDENTS
In architectural thought, the idea that buildings can elicit an affective response from their users has
periodically emerged since classical times, with prominence in late 18th-century French theory. Etienne-
Louis Boullée (1968) suggests that buildings can derive from nature means of producing atmospheric
effects based on light and darkness, molding the sensations received by the observers. Nicolas Le Camus
de Mézières (1780) considers the world of domestic interiors as inhabited by a genius, understood as a
demonic presence capable of striking the resident and conferring to each room a particular character. A
further moment of interest arises with the German debate on empathy in the last years of the 19th century:
Heinrich Wölfflin (1886) observes how buildings can suggest a mood or Stimmung by means of their
expressive characters, received by the observer in a form of corporeal mirroring. This early reference to
bodily resonance, however, is mostly bound to the isolated architectural object rather than to the vague
and diffuse spatial occupation characterizing atmospheric situationality.

THE CURRENT DEBATE
A specific notion of atmosphere that considers the affective engagement by means of the felt body has
been introduced in the architectural debate by Gernot Böhme, who has provided the first systematic
elaboration of the topic (2006). Böhme stresses the relevance of the subject’s bodily presence as the origin
of architectural experience, thereby countering the classical notion of geometrical space – spatium – and
the post-modern focus on place theory. The experience of architectural space is considered to be
fundamentally atmospheric, a grounding perceptual condition that is direct and deambulatory,
kinaesthetic and affectively engaging, synesthetic/polymodal. Buildings are thus no longer described as
objects of visual art, but rather as affording possibilities of emotional involvement (Griffero 2019). The
designers’ “aesthetic work” can configure the material support facilitating the supervenience of immaterial
agents such as light, sound, air, haze and fog, etc., which will influence the subject’s emotional response,
thereby transversally tincturing space for all those who are perceptually present. According to Böhme, the
effects of design are such that an atmosphere can be at least in part produced, albeit considering the
architectural configuration as a “stage set” for the unfolding of variable and not fully determined
situations.
In parallel to Böhme, from the early 2000s the architect and theorist Peter Zumthor has provided some
essential yet key reflections on the role of emotions and feelings in built spaces (2003). In his view, the
architect’s work is deeply shaped by previous spatial experiences, feeding into the imaginative process by
which buildings are designed and crafted. Despite the meticulous care in the material definition of his
architectures, Zumthor considers experience as fundamentally oriented by atmospheres, evoked by
means of light, sound, the radiance of material objects and a diffuse emotional content that can pervade
space. He thus conceives of architectural design as a form of “emotional reconstruction”, where feelings
both present and past become embedded in the space the buildings institute.
The work by Böhme and Zumthor has fueled a wide array of further reflections and inquiries on the role of
atmosphere in the understanding and definition of architectural space. The critic Juhani Pallasmaa (2014)
grafts this notion onto his preceding work centered around the subject’s perceptual experience, grounded
on Merleau-Ponty’s phenomenology. He underscores the fusion between felt body and experienced space,
and how the perception of and through atmospheres elicits an emotional response feeding into the
cognitive process. By considering the role of peripheral vision over the single focal point, Pallasmaa
highlights the potential of a vague and blurred atmospheric perception as an antidote to the object-
centered frontality of classic architectural perspective.
Alberto Pérez-Gómez (2016) inscribes the concept of atmosphere – intended as an “in-between”
pertaining to architecture’s communicative space – in a broad historical continuum, where the architects’
quest for attunement to the natural world and its man-made objects represents the permanence of the
classical discourse on harmony and temperance.

The theoretical implications of atmospheres in architecture have also elicited criticism: David
Leatherbarrow (2015) observes how the notion of atmosphere is related to several other terms previously
central in architectural theory, such as character, mood, climate, ambiance and milieu. As a specific
concept, it sustains a transversal tendency in contemporary design for architecture’s shedding of
materiality, in an orchestration of effects that intends to create an integral impression. In his view, the
inherent limit of atmospheres is their reliance on the first impression afforded by a spatial setting, with
little ability of explaining architecture’s capacity of giving rise to thought and articulate practical
experience. A further transversal concern variously discussed by several authors is that of the subtle
manipulative power implicit in atmospheres, as exemplified by the architecture of totalitarian regimes or
late capitalism (Borch 2014; Hasse 2014).
The more general discussion on atmospheres has been complemented by punctual explorations of some
specific aspects of spatial experience, such as architecture’s gestural qualities and their ability of
suggesting movement, central notions in Hermann Schmitz’s spatial theory (Meisenheimer 2004, Jäkel
2013). Extensive interdisciplinary research crossing architecture and urban studies with anthropology and
ethnography have yielded contributions on thematic areas such as urban lighting (Sumartojo et al. 2019),
domestic interiors and lighting (Bille 2019), archaeology (Bille, Sørensen 2016). Several studies have
focused on the methodological issues of adopting atmospheres as a research tool, considering
epistemological problems such as their representability (De Matteis et al. 2019) or how they can sustain
the transition between scholarship, practice and policymaking (Sumartojo, Pink 2019).
Besides such an extensive theoretical discussion, the notion of atmosphere has also sparked several
practice-oriented approaches variously grounded on the emotional dimension for either the
understanding or the conception of architectural and urban space. Thus, atmosphere can be integrated
with objective data, to provide an account of the comprehensive qualities of urban space or serve as
descriptor of the character of a building’s interior space.
URBAN ATMOSPHERES
The theory of atmospheres has proven particularly fertile in a range of observational approaches to the
city and urban space. With the notion of affective atmosphere geographers Ben Anderson (2009) and
Matthew Gandy (2017) refer to the pre-personal and transpersonal dimensions of affective life and
everyday experience, as collective emotions that are simultaneously indeterminate and determinate. In
their being both experienced and created by the subjects’ bodies, atmospheres play a crucial role in the
politics of urban space, influencing the relations between individuals and groups as they unfold within the
physical infrastructure of the city. Although this approach is less focused on the specific architectural
qualities of the urban settings, it is nevertheless capable of describing how the processes of transformation
of the city are shaped by the affective atmosphere and mood toning the inhabitants’ individual and
collective presence.

With the concept of ambiance – related to that of atmosphere – Jean-Paul Thibaud addresses the
experienced qualities of urban spaces primarily in terms of the situated, built and social dimension of
sensory experience (2015). By shifting the focus from physical space to affective and experienced space,
ambiances provide an operating mode that is both analytical and design-oriented, considering the sensory
environment as a field of action, as an alternative model of intelligibility including the contemporary
concern with atmospheric phenomena. A large research network active on the various declinations of this
field also animates the online journal “Ambiances”.
