Fields of Care Appendix: Chart of the Taxonomy of InteractionsReviewsA veritable encyclopedia of ideas, all pressing toward one sage insight: good design-far from being an act of technocratic rationality-resides in the poetic, festive, and cultural interplay between self and other, or better, the art of exploring the depth of our visceral engagement with the world.

Architecture has been incessantly theorized, taught and practiced merely as an art of aestheticised material structures and space. Sarah Robinson presents architecture convincingly and inspiringly as a network of relationships, actions and interactions; buildings reveal, structure and articulate our encounters and relations with the world. Through deftly weaving knowledge from diverse disciplines ranging from philosophy to psychology, anthropology to neuroscience and history to poetics-this book opens up comprehensive and balanced but truly radical views of the complex phenomenon of architecture. The reader will surely encounter and experience buildings differently after having read this significant book. -Juhani Pallasmaa, Architect, Professor emeritus (Aalto University), Writer, Member of the Pritzker Architecture Prize Jury, 2008-2014 Author InformationSarah Robinson is an architect practising in San Francisco and Pavia, Italy.
