Architecture faculty publish fourth issue of 'Interfaces'
Submitted by Elisabetta Canepa
"Interfaces 4," titled "Designing Atmospheres: Theory and Science," is now available through New Prairie Press.
The book is edited by Elisabetta Canepa and Bob Condia from the architecture department in the College of Architecture, Planning & Design.
The "Interfaces" book series investigates the interplay of architecture, philosophy and biology through the lens of meaning in architecture.
The volume collects four essays: "Investigating Atmosphere in Architecture: An Overview of Phenomenological and Neuroscientific Methods" by Canepa; "Rhythms of the Brain, Body, and Environment: A Neuroscientific Perspective on Atmospheres" by Zakaria Djebbara; "A History of Tool-Atmospheres" by Kory Beighle; and "Atmospheric Histrionics" by Harry Francis Mallgrave. Condia provided a critical introduction titled "The Design of Atmospheres."
The book was born as the legacy of the "Designing Atmospheres: Theory and Science" symposium, an Interfaces event of the Academy of Neuroscience for Architecture, sponsored by the EU's Horizon 2020 MSCA Program — Resonances project, the Perkins Eastman Studio, and the architecture department at Kansas State University. The event was hosted March 28 in the College of Architecture, Planning & Design at K-State.
The Resonances project has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie grant agreement No. 101025132. For further information, visit resonances-project.com.
