One of the most interesting developments in contemporary architecture is the rejection of object-oriented designs in favor of approaches that discover “exterior” involvements for single works, an architecture of mutual envelopment. Architects such as Jean Nouvel, Peter Zumthor, Kengo Kuma and Adam Caruso exemplify this approach. Today the term atmosphere is variously used to describe spatial settings as networks of relationships, with distinct character and mood. The aim of this lecture is to describe this view of buildings, landscapes and cities, and its role contemporary practice.
