Architecture is a transformative approach that fundamentally reimagines the principles and practices of architectural design and practice. It recognizes the central role of the human organism as an active participant, interconnected with its environment. Moreover, it understands human action in terms of radical embodiment, where the range of activities traditionally associated with mind and cognition, such as imagining, thinking, and remembering, are grounded in the physical body.

Architecture goes beyond the traditional functional interpretation of design by delving into the question of what a building does. It explores how buildings move, how they affect our movements, and how they shape our thoughts and actions. By developing a comprehensive taxonomy of human/building interactions, architecture aims to articulate concrete situations and provide practical examples for a new generation of designers.

Written in an engaging and accessible style, this book is suitable for students of architecture, interiors, and urban design, as well as practicing professionals. It is richly illustrated with practical examples, making it an invaluable resource for anyone seeking to understand the dynamic relationship between humans and buildings. Through its innovative approach, architecture offers a fresh perspective on the design and creation of spaces that enhance our lives and promote well-being.
