Starting from new strains of phenomenology and from recent neuroscience’s theories, the paper aims to address the topic of “impurity” of architecture grounded in human “affective space” that modifies the way the world is for us. Specially in the case of urban transformations and mainly in regeneration pro-grams, where it is increasingly manifest a wider requirement and instance for participation by the inhabitants, people’s feelings and emotions become some-thing that needs to be taken into account in practicing architecture and plan-ning. Concepts such as “affordance”, "atmosphere", “embodiment” and "empa-thy" become central in our way of experiencing space: along with other con-cepts such as memory, identity, imagery, they redefine the balance between reflective and pre-reflective domains. This raises questions about how to learn the impurity of architecture, which claims the development of critical devices re-quired to understand biological, psychological and cultural aspects in a more integrated way strictly connected to social practices.

Abstract: | Starting from new strains of phenomenology and from recent neuroscience’s theories, the paper aim...s to address the topic of “impurity” of architecture grounded in human “affective space” that modifies the way the world is for us. Specially in the case of urban transformations and mainly in regeneration pro-grams, where it is increasingly manifest a wider requirement and instance for participation by the inhabitants, people’s feelings and emotions become some-thing that needs to be taken into account in practicing architecture and plan-ning. Concepts such as “affordance”, "atmosphere", “embodiment” and "empa-thy" become central in our way of experiencing space: along with other con-cepts such as memory, identity, imagery, they redefine the balance between reflective and pre-reflective domains. This raises questions about how to learn the impurity of architecture, which claims the development of critical devices re-quired to understand biological, psychological and cultural aspects in a more integrated way strictly connected to social practices. |
