Abstract
Architecture can be justified by a multitude of requirements, whether that means functional, aesthetic or other design attributes. Nonetheless, whether it is by consequence or a conscious decision, architecture influences us in ways we are often not aware of. We feel it, but cannot always point out ex-actly the intangible elements that impact our perception of architecture. My interest lies in the technique and thought behind creating and identifying profoundly experiential architecture, such as the works of James Turrell, Steven Holl and Tadao Ando.
