It proposes that the environmental performance  of public space is underdeveloped and is primed to play a more  integrated role in combatting the urgency of climate change, while also  creating a more meaningful experience of the city. The approach is  influenced by recent insights from neuroscience that are generating a  growing body of evidence for the underlying bodily basis of mind and  meaning imply a reformulation of urban design theory.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Minding the City<\/strong><\/em><br \/>\n is an effort to refocus the subject of urban design on the tangible and  visceral experience of public space, to remind urban designers that our  concept of the city is grounded in bodily experience. It discusses  emerging insights from neuroscience and their potential impact on urban  design in detail, not as a formula for design, but to bring awareness, a  new sensibility to the design process. It uses a set of case studies to  illustrate how the insights from neuroscience are operative in how we  experience and value the built environment. It finishes with an  exploration of the sensory and aesthetic potential of sustainable  systems and then illustrates, through a series of urban design studies,  how they might be used to create better environmental performance while  creating more meaningful, even poetic urban spaces.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Minding the City is an effort to refocus the subject of urban design on the tangible and visceral experience of public space, to remind urban designers that our concept of the city is grounded in bodily experience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":14559,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":""},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[5559],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-14558","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-architecture-landscape-design","7":"author-by-author-atanaska-foteva","8":"author-by-author-harrison-fraker","9":"author-by-author-peter-siostrom","10":"publisher-oro-editions","12":"first","13":"instock","14":"shipping-taxable","15":"purchasable","16":"product-type-simple"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.0 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Minding the City - ACC Art Books UK<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Title: Minding the City, Pages: 240 Pages, Publish Date: 18th Feb 2021, Author: Atanaska Foteva, Harrison Fraker, Peter Siostrom, ISBN: 9781951541330.
