Raumdenken - Thinking Space
_Space as a holistic sensory experience
_Perception through movement, light, and materiality
_Linking practice, theory, and image
_Architecture and space discussion in the medium of books
Architecture is understood as a sensory experience that can only be fully experienced by physically being in the space. Visual and acoustic impressions not only provide orientation, but also clues to materiality, haptics, and atmosphere. Spatial perception arises from the continuous change of sensory impressions while moving through the space.
For Irmgard Frank, space, atmosphere, light, and materiality have been at the center of her architectural and scientific work for over twenty years. The publication links her own works with texts from various disciplines and thematically structured image series. In this way, the discussion of space is not only documented and reflected upon, but also translated into the medium of the book as a sensory and atmospheric experience.
