Evoking through design : contemporary moods in architecture / guest-edited by Matias del Campo

November/December 2016

Includes bibliographical references

A visually stunning title, 'Evoking Through Design' features built work and speculative projects that highlight how contemporary practices are using devices such as spatial compositing, surface articulation, novel manipulations of matter and computational code in order to constitute spatial conditions radiating in delicate and sophisticated atmospheres. The theoretical foundations of the subject are explored through core essays on key themes: the historical lineage of the evocation of atmosphere and moods in architecture; the more recent preoccupation with speculative realism in architecture; the human body and atmosphere; and picturesque techniques.--Back cover
