Experiencing Architecture by Steen Eiler Rasmussen

You must observe how it was designed for a special purpose,…, You must be aware of the textural effects…» When we look at English bridge at the beginning of the 19th century, it was an example of a structure with «soft» form, however we can take the Palazzo Punta as a building with a typically «hard» form. Rasmussen says that «It is not enough to see architecture you must experience it. I will mention some of them in this presentation.Ĥ Basic Observation Palazzo Punta Diamanti in Rome. They are Basic Observations, Solids and Cavities in Architeture, Constrasting Effects of Solid and Cavities, Architecture Experienced as Color Planes, Scale and Proporiton, Rhythm in Architecture, Textural Effects, Daylight in Architecture, Color in Architecture and Hearing Architecture. Rasmussen breaks his book up into sections to contribute to the experience of architecture. The intent is not to learn how to identify 'good' architecture and 'bad' architecture, but to try to acquaint people with some of the elements of architecture. The intent is to present some of the basic elements of architecture that may make looking at buildings a little more interesting.

This is a very early instance of a popular book which focusing on how we experience architecture rather than the thing or object itself. Steen Rasmussen's book «Experiencing Architecture» presents some things to look for in architecture. He was also made a Royal Designer for Industry by the British Royal Society of Arts in 1947. This Academy teaches and conducts research on the subjects of painting, sculpting, architecture, graphics, photography, and video and in the history of those subjects.
