Architecture Beyond ExperienceAuthor(s): Michael Benedikt\nFormat: Paperback\nPublisher: Oro Editions, United States\nImprint: ORO Applied Research + Design\nISBN-13: 9781943532896, 978-1943532896\nSynopsis\nArchitecture Beyond Experience\n is an interdisciplinary work in the service of one goal: the bringing \nabout of a more relational, 'posthuman' and yet humanist strain in \narchitecture. It argues against the values that currently guide much \narchitectural production (and the larger economy's too), which is the \nmaking, marketing, and staging of ever more arresting experiences. The \nresult, in architecture, is experientialism: the belief that what gives a\n building value, aside from fulfilling its shelter functions, is how its\n views and spaces make us personally feel as we move around it.\n\nThis\n thought provoking essay argues it's time to find a deeper basis for \nmaking and judging architecture, a basis which is not \npersonal-experience-multiplied, but which is dialog.
