“Architectural spaces are not just lifeless stages for our activities. They guide, choreograph, and stimulate actions, interests and moods, or in the negative case, stifle and prohibit them. Even more importantly, they give our everyday experiences of being specific perceptual frames and horizons of understanding.”
