Interfaces 5 was born to home the dialogue that the neuroscientist Michael A. Arbib and the philosopher Tonino Griffero started at the end of 2021 about atmospheric experiences, striving to bridge the gap between cognitive science’s perspective and the (neo)phenomenological one. This conversation progressed due to Pato Paez’s offer to participate in the webinar “Architectural Atmospheres: Phenomenology, Cognition, and Feeling,” a roundtable hosted by The Commission Project (TCP) within the Applied Neuroaesthetics initiative. The event ran online on May 20, 2022. Bob Condia moderated the panel discussion between Suchi Reddy, Michael A. Arbib, and Tonino Griffero. The RESONANCES project was responsible for developing the editing and publishing process. This volume collects nine essays: the main chapter is “A Dialogue on Affordances, Atmospheres, and Architecture” by Michael A. Arbib and Tonino Griffero; there are four commentaries to this text by Federico De Matteis, Robert Lamb Hart, Mark Alan Hewitt, and Suchi Reddy; Michael A. Arbib and Tonino Griffero have independently responded to the commentaries, emphasizing the opportunities and challenges of their respective approaches: cog/neuroscience and atmospherology applied to architecture; Elisabetta Canepa offers “An Essential Vocabulary of Atmospheric Architecture,” developing an atmospherological critique of the Marianna Kistler Beach Museum of Art on the Kansas State University campus to evaluate the accuracy, coherence, and adaptability of her lexicon. Bob Condia and Mikaela Wynne provide an introduction entitled “On Becoming an Atmospherologist: A Praxis of Atmospheres.”, The RESONANCES project (Architectural Atmospheres: The Emotional Impact of Ambiances Measured through Conscious, Bodily, and Neural Responses) received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under the Marie Skłodowska-Curie grant agreement no. 101025132.

Based on the multi-component character of our emotions, we can study the affective dimension of architectural atmospheres through several approaches. This essay reviews the main research models that employ a first-person perspective (self-observation) and a third-person perspective (external observation), analyzing methodological potentials and limitations. We need a multi-perspective approach to investigate the complexity of the atmospheric vocation of architecture, integrating both models and working on complementary notions: atmosphere and architecture, resonance and attunement, impressions and appraisals, nonconscious and conscious, emotions and feelings, living body and lived body, neuroscience and phenomenology, physiological measures and self-report techniques., This essay was developed within the Resonances project — Architectural Atmospheres: The Emotional Impact of Ambiances Measured through Conscious, Bodily, and Neural Responses.

Architecture is a complex process of spatial and temporal organization, which is conceived, developed, felt, and communicated also (and above all) through its atmospheric manifestations. Atmosphere is the essence of affective qualities we sense in our surroundings that confers identity and meaning to a situation or place. In the last three decades, investigations about atmospheres — aimed at comprehending, experimenting, and representing their expressive properties — have been drawing remarkable attention. From the end of the 20th century, some scholars have even observed an ‘atmospheric turn,’ a ramification of the more general ‘affective turn’ that bloomed in the Humanities in the early to mid-1990s. There is an ever-increasing enthusiasm for the atmospheric approach in architecture: today, atmosphere represents a crucial element for design practice and critical discussion, as well as architectural teaching. It satisfies the pressing need for bodily felt experiences and emotionally arranged ambiances. This IDEA2023 presentation illustrates the jagged background that an architect should develop to manage the multidisciplinary essence of an atmospheric education. It is the occasion to show how it is possible to combine architectural theory, (neuro)physiological methodology, and experimentation in virtual reality. Specifically, the discussion focuses on the most recent experiment we carried out at the P\Lab2003 directed by Professor Bob Condia at Kansas State University (Manhattan, Kansas). The priming potential of atmospheres is a deep-rooted intuition among architects, but we must consolidate evidence by collecting empirical data. We want to transform a design intuition into an informed intuition., The theoretical premises of this abstract and the physiological-signal-based experiment illustrated during the IDEA 2023 Symposium were developed within the RESONANCES project — Architectural Atmospheres: The Emotional Impact of Ambiances Measured through Conscious, Bodily, and Neural Responses.

Atmosphere is the whole of affective meanings identifying a situation or place that allows us to resonate and tune into our surroundings. The complexity of atmosphere is well known. This essay analyzes the — design and aleatory — determinants that prime atmospheric effects to estimate the contribution provided by the physical environment (namely, the architect’s domain of intervention). Staging atmospheres is a compositional task in which we orchestrate different architectural generators to let our bodies emotionally resonate with the multisensory entirety of forms, materials, shades, colors, sounds, and scents that constitute a place. Designed atmospheres become generators of identity and meaning., The theoretical premises of this essay were developed within the RESONANCES project — Architectural Atmospheres: The Emotional Impact of Ambiances Measured through Conscious, Bodily, and Neural Responses.

There are architectures that, more than others, seem to exist for their nature of atmospheric, resonant bodies: they are shells that enclose, protect, and reverberate the internal landscape of our sensibility. These architectures, in being diaphragms designed to regulate external factors, such as daylight, breeze, and temperature, function above all as a source of emotional priming and contagion. They sway our first impressions (bodily resonance) and modulate our affective involvement (attunement). Two projects by the Andalusian architect Antonio Jiménez Torrecillas describe his extraordinary ability to shape the atmospheric vocation of architectural experience, staging affectively situated events. The journey inside the Nasrid Wall in Upper Albaicín, the Moorish quarter of the city of Granada, (2002-2008) and the seaside house in Rota designed for a famous couple of writers, Luis García Montero and Almudena Grandes, (2012-2015) is an homage to Antonio, master of atmospheres. Oz 44, Essence of Discipline Edited by Haneen Abu-Sherbi and Matthew Cox Increasingly the discipline of architecture assumes the demands posed by a rapidly changing society, responding to issues in an evolving world. These shape how architecture is practiced and perceived. With ever-expanding expectations to contend with a multitude of urgencies, something at architecture's core—perhaps even an underlying idealistic concept of the architect—may be diluted or lost. Oz 44 asked: how might the architect of the twenty-first century define the agency of architecture beyond the realm of the expected standards? What underlying principles—what core passions—must remain in architectural practice and theory?, The theoretical premises of this essay were developed within the RESONANCES project — Architectural Atmospheres: The Emotional Impact of Ambiances Measured through Conscious, Bodily, and Neural Responses.
