Arguing that architecture is primarily experienced by the whole body, rather than chiefly with the eyes, this broad-ranging study shows how the most engaging built works are as tactile as they are sensuous, communicating directly with the bodily senses, especially touch. It explores the theme of ?material imagination? and the power of establishing ?place identity? in an architect?s work, to consider the enduring expressive possibilities of material use in architecture. The book?s chapters can be dipped into, each individual chapter providing close readings of built works by selected modern masters (Scarpa, Zumthor, Williams and Tsien), insights into key texts and theories (Ruskin, Loos, Bachelard), or short cultural histories of materials (wood, brick, concrete, steel, and glass). And yet, taken together, the chapters build to a powerful book-length argument about how meaning accrues to materials through time, and about the need to reinsert the bodily experience of materiality into architectural design. It is thus also, in part, a manifesto: arguing for architecture to act as a bulwark against the tide of an increasingly depersonalised built environment. 500 1$3VAN00237754$aMaterials and meaning in architecture : essays on the bodily experience of buildings.$92832342 620 $aGB$dLondon$3VANL000015 700 1$aColeman$bNathaniel$f1961-$3VANV194789$0705703 712 02$aBloomsbury$ceditore$3VANV144572 791 02$aBloomsbury Academic$zBloomsbury $3VANV146605 791 02$aBloomsbury Visual Arts$zBloomsbury $3VANV146611 801 $aIT$bSOL$c20250711$gRICA 856 4 $uhttps://www.bloomsburycollections.com/book/materials-and-meaning-in-architecture-essays-on-the-bodily-experience-of-buildings/$zE-book ?
