• Resumen

  • Modern architecture has dedicated much of its discourse to crystal-ball gazing – dwelling on the visionary and the speculative. Conversely, Kevin Nute, Professor of Architecture at the University of Oregon, puts the case for the present over the future and the past. To enhance experiences of the present, he describes how architects can harness the effects of changing temporal and weather conditions – sun and shadow, wind and rain. Design can heighten the sensory stimuli these conditions generate, keeping us ‘in the moment’ while still enjoying the comfort of being indoors.
