We exist within the confines of atmospheres, engaging in discourse about them and navigating through them. These atmospheric realms provide us with a vital gateway to comprehending diverse facets of human existence and experiences, including the values and priorities that guide individuals, the environments in which life unfolds, and the mechanisms of transformation and potential futures. Atmospheres, although fleeting and elusive, are an integral and inseparable component of our daily experiential and conceptual landscapes. They continually elude our grasp as they undergo perpetual transformation.

Through the exploration of atmospheres, this book seeks to provoke innovative ways of thinking about the interconnectedness of people, space, time, and events. Atmospheres and the Experiential World delves into the ways in which we interact with these affective modes, uncovering the potential they hold for researchers, designers, policymakers, and practitioners to shape and intervene in the world.

Chapters within this book propose a flexible and adaptable approach to atmospheres, advocating for a conception of atmospheres as dynamic and evolving configurations that facilitate analytical insights into a wide array of subjects when approached from the perspectives of thinking in, about, and through them. This book serves as a valuable resource for scholars, designers, creative practitioners, professionals, and students seeking to gain a research-based understanding and engage with atmospheres. By delving into the complexities and nuances of these atmospheric realms, we can unlock new avenues for creativity, innovation, and positive change in our world.
