Experiencing Architecture

Product Information

This book is a foundational text for the idea of architecture as a phenomenological discipline and its a book that can be read and re-read. This is a big howler which I would warn anyone reading this book now about and it sullies almost unforgivably an otherwise classic in its genre. Verdict Steen Eiler Rasmussen was a Danish architect, a planner and a professor at the School of Architecture in Copenhagen who travelled widely including to China. Om at oplev arkitektur was published in 1957 and the edition in English, Experiencing Architecture , came out in in 1959. Imrie, R. Architects’ Conceptions of the Human Body. Environ. Plan. D Soc.

Thorvaldsen’s Museum in Copenhagen has an acoustical effectvery much like that of passageways and tunnels. In 1834 theDanish king donated an old barrel-vaulted coach house to holdthe works of the famous sculptor. The building was convertedinto a beautiful museum with one statue in each barrel-vaultedroom, where the long echoes of the coach-house still seem tolinger. It is a house for stone effigies and has none of the comfortsof houses built for human beings. The floors are of stone, thewalls of stone, the ceilings of stone, even the residents are of stone.
