Summary:

The experience of movement, of moving through buildings, cities, landscapes the main involvement most of us have with the built environment on a daily basis has until now been surprisingly neglected in architectural study and practice. Architecture and Movement tackles this complex subject for the first time, providing a broad multi-disciplinary perspective. The wide selection of contributors include academics and practitioners and discuss cases from across the US, UK, Europe and Asia. By mingling such disparate voices in a carefully curated selection of chapters, the book enlarges the understanding of architects, architectural students, designers and planners, alerting them to the many and complex issues involved in the experience of movement.
