The experience of movement; of moving through buildings; cities; landscapes and in everyday life; is the only involvement most individuals have with the built environment on a daily basis. User experience is so often neglected in architectural study and practice. Architecture and Movement tackles this complex subject for the first time; providing the wide range of perspectives needed to tackle this multi-disciplinary topic.Organised in four parts it:documents the architectrsquo;s; plannerrsquo;s; or designerrsquo;s approach; looking at how they have sought to deploy buildings as a promenade and how they have thought or written about it. concentrates on the individualrsquo;s experience; and particularly on the primacy of walking; which engages other senses besides the visual. engages with society and social rituals; and how mutually we define the spaces through which we move; both by laying out routes and boundaries and by celebrating thresholds. analyses how we deal with promenades which are not experienced directly but via other mediums such as computer models; drawings; film and television. The wide selection of contributors include academics and practitioners and discuss cases from across the US; UK; Europe and Asia. By mingling such disparate voices in a carefully curated selection of chapters; the book enlarges the understanding of architects; architectural students; designers and planners; alerting them to the many and complex issues involved in the experience of movement.

I felt there was way too much description about people that I didnt care about and not nearly enough suspense to make a good mystery.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
