Atmosfera

Here is the abstract Elisabetta Canepa and Valter Scelsi submitted to the tenth Forum ProArch promoted by the Italian Scientific Society of Architectural, Urban, and Landscape Design Professors. The conference, entitled "Le parole e le forme" ("Forms and Images," in English), took place in Genoa, November 16-18, 2023. Their proposal reconstructs the genealogy, evolution, and semantic geography of the word "atmosphere," mapping a taxonomy of definitions and design approaches to atmosphere forged over time by the architectural culture.
