Architectural designSummary: Architects spend their time creating walls, facades, floors and roofs – containers of space. But are they missing a key ingredient? Sergei Gepshtein, who directs Adaptive Sensory Technologies research at the Salk Institute in San Diego, and Spatial Perception and Concrete Experience research at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, investigates the notion of a new architectural object. He shows how the space of experience is articulated by boundaries that arise from the human body. Although intangible and fluid, these boundaries are nevertheless real and systematic, which is why they readily yield to the methods of science.
