    Infinite atmospheres for vulnerabilities of spaces: ambiances and architectural design
    (2022) Evangelia, Paxinou; Nicolas, Remy; Escola de Comunicação, Arquitetura, Artes e Tecnologias da Informação
    In the frame of the B-AIR co-funded program by the European Education and Culture Executive Agency, architects, designers, artists, anthropologists, radio artists have been exploring the theme of social, environmental, and spatial "vulnerabilities” trough the ordinary listening in the public spaces. Ambiances theory for architectural design address the theme trough the discussion between the infinite atmospheres and the last concerns on the happiness business. The paper shows that creating atmosphere in public spaces can facilitate the design of places with sensible qualities and the improvement of the humans’ living conditions, beyond the «narcissistic» production of sterile and stereotypical architectural objects with no social background.

    Perceptual and sensitive aspects of the urban ground : sound, thermal and somatic
    (2022) Germon, Olivia; Thiollière, Pascaline; Escola de Comunicação, Arquitetura, Artes e Tecnologias da Informação
    Sensory dimensions of urban ground have been little studied by architectural and urban research, forgotten behind their functional and ecological dimensions. It is nevertheless an essential element of the human scale of cities and contributes to the background of urban ambiances. In the perspective of drawing a new episteme of the urban ground, an element particularly linked to the whole bodily experience, we will evoke in this contribution mainly three sensory dimensions

    Sensory ecology: designing synergies between micro and macro-scales of experience in public environments
    (2022) Mace, Valerie; Escola de Comunicação, Arquitetura, Artes e Tecnologias da Informação
    This study introduces ways in which designers can contribute to people’s ability to develop positive emotional connections with their environment, to design sensory spaces where people can flourish. It is situated in ontological design, drawing on the phenomenological theory of embodiment whilst advocating an ecological perspective to bring together spatial and human dimensions. Placing the sensing body as the primary means of perception, it examines qualitative interrelations between the microscale of experience, the scale of the body and its immediate surroundings, and the macro-scale of experience, the wider context of the physical and social environments. These complementary scales are examined through two interrelated principles, privateness and porosity. Privateness is enacted and characterised by people’s ability to define personal and group territories in the micro-scale whilst porosity enables them to maintain sensory connections with the macro-scale. This is first examined in a case study of the public interior of the Royal Festival Hall, a major cultural venue in London. This environment, where space and people converge, provides a rich field for exploration. This is followed by design experiments to test the findings from the case study. The outcome of this study feeds into a larger research project to contribute towards a sensori-emotional framework for spatial design
