Evening in Llano
The Sleep of AdamFeature 2 : Perceptual Space One of the defining characteristics of architecture, one that makes it what it is, is that people can touch it and go inside it. It is fair to say that architecture is what it is because it has interior spaces, and that interior spaces exist because of architecture. Also, compared to architecture itself, interior spaces are closer to human bodily perceptions.Recently we are seeing more interior designs that represent crystallizations of interactive relations between people and space. These designs reveal the poverty of the view that regards interiors as nothing more than decoration. Looking outside architecture, we also see a transition away from the previous emphasis on materials and visuals and toward designs that stimulate all five of our senses. Instead of closure as the goal, we see designs that leave something open to explore in the future – an approach that resonates with the recent trend toward sustainability and lessening the burden on the environment.This issue introduces some of the most prominent representatives of this moment in interior design, and examines from a variety of perspectives the fertile relationships between space and human perceptions.We can feel a new wind blowing, one that is bringing not more show but more reality.Naomi ShibataPROJECTSOMA/AMO Spring/Summer 2010 PRADA Men&Women Fashion ShowBackground of Design: Collaboration between OMA/AMO and PRADAJean Nouvel Les Bains des DocksBackground of Design: Formcoating Technology used in Play Area for ChildrenKarim Rashid Chelsea LoftBackground of Design: Karim Rashid UniverseLOT-EK PUMA CITYBackground of Design: Making Mobile BuildingJohn Pawson Monastery of Our Lady of Novy DvurBackground of Design: Detail Drawings of Monastery of Our Lady of Novy DvurFrédéric Flamand
