Mimarlık, disiplinler arasında tuhaf bir konumda yer alır. Mühendisler onu yeterince teknik bulmaz, sanatçılar yeterince özgür bulmaz, sosyal bilimciler yeterince ampirik bulmaz, filozoflar ise yeterince düşünsel bulmaz. Oysa hiçbir başka alan bu dört talebi eş zamanlı olarak, bütçe dahilinde, zamanında ve somut malzemeyle karşılamak zorunda değildir. Bu makale, görünürdeki bu zayıflığın aslında mimarlığın en belirleyici bilgi üretimi katkısı olduğunu ileri sürer: mimarlık, t

Quantum Physics and Spatial Flow: How to Draw the Cognitive Map of a Five-Star Hotel Lobby
A theoretical framework for the next generation of luxury hospitality design
