It emphasizes the importance of aesthetics, emotions, and cognitive responses in shaping our interactions with architecture. Understanding a building's beauty involves considering its appearance, our sensory experiences, and the feelings it evokes in us. ## LLM Chats ## NotebookLM ## LLM Audio ## Highlights > We are also aware of our own body moving in space – psychologists call this proprioception. A narrow corridor can make us hunch or draw in our arms, whereas a lofty vaulted hall might naturally prompt us to stand up straighter and move more slowly in awe. The design of a space influences how we carry ourselves. The effort and rhythm of climbing a grand staircase, for example, can become part of the aesthetic experience – feeling ceremonious if the stairs are broad and shallow, or intimate and strenuous if they are steep and winding.

We “dwell” in buildings, and they become extensions of our life-world. ([View Highlight](https://read.readwise.io/read/01jmvz1prg6xk7yrmt13qd75cc))
