INTENTIONS IN ARCHITECTURE

How does architecture influence us? If we take this point of departure, architecture has not only an instrumental purpose, but also a psychological function. We do know that we might have very different experiences although the surroundings remain the same. A known object may suddenly appear completely different, and we may seem that we have become alive to another of its aspects. Architects need training in how to experience architecture.
