Experiential Design Schemas is a groundbreaking work that presents a novel theoretical and practical framework for designing architectural experiences. Developed by two seasoned researchers, an architect, and a building scientist, this book offers a comprehensive collection of 45 experiential design schemas as generative design resources. Presented in a novel, multi-scalar networked language, each schema is presented as a modular four-page spread, providing an in-depth explanation of the phenomena and potential feeling states associated with it. Accompanied by compelling precedents, supporting evidence, and design guidelines, these schemas aim to empower designers to enhance the connections between people and nature in buildings. By utilizing the schema-based design guidance, architects can choreograph positive experiences that respond to dynamic and variable environmental conditions, allowing individuals to connect with the rhythms of nature.

The authors of Experiential Design Schemas have extensive experience in the field of architectural design and research. The architect, with their expertise in spatial planning and design, brings a valuable perspective to the book. The building scientist, with their knowledge of environmental systems and their impact on human experiences, adds depth to the theoretical framework. Together, they have crafted a comprehensive resource that caters to architects, designers, and professionals interested in creating spaces that prioritize human well-being and foster a deeper connection with nature.
