转动门把手，从一个空间打开一扇门，引领到另一个的经验，如何影响我们？难怪这门是最基本的建筑形式之一，这样富有隐喻。但是，即使仅仅具有纯物理感知的人的水平，也会感受到铜把手或滑动屏幕的沙沙的冰冷触摸引起的情绪反应，有时适度，偶尔深刻。

这本书的目的是了解如何在空间这些建筑，如何影响我们的日常行为。如果建筑是商业或审美目的的所在。建筑形式的概念，是所有建筑师需要把握至的关重要的因素，需要考虑如何在特定的内置元素和体积下，将其从一个广泛的建筑物，成为名誉世界的标志，。从手工雕刻的楼梯，到希腊村庄自由浮动的通道，从日本的垫脚石，到看似随意放置在Chareau的玻璃房子的楼梯，所有，都会影响我们的空间体验。

A thought-provoking consideration of how architecture, from a doorknob to a city plan, can influence human behavior

How does the experience of turning a door handle, opening a door from one space into another, affect us? It is no wonder that the door, one of the most elemental architectural forms, has such metaphorical richness. But even on a purely physical human level, the cold touch of a brass handle or the swish of a sliding screen gives rise to an emotional reaction, sometimes modest, occasionally profound.

This book aims to understand how these everyday acts are influenced by architectural form, a concept that is vital for all architects to grasp. It considers how specifically built elements and volumes, taken from a wide array of buildings and settings around the world, can affect our powers of decision. From hand-carved stairs in Greek villages to free-floating catwalks, from the elegant processional steps of Renaissance Italy to Frank Lloyd Wright’s masterly manipulation of form, all provide very different experiences of stepping from one level to the next, and all affect our experience of that space.

Seamlessly integrating text and image, each chapter focuses on a different aspect of our daily interactions with architecture, looking at stairs, floors and paths, moving interior spaces, perception and perspective, transparency and the relationship between a building and its setting. This book is not just for architects and designers engaged in the production of space, but for all those who seek a richer understanding of their place in the built world.
