This contribution takes the notion of situated experience as a starting point for explorations in practices of moving and making. Striving to privilege embodied experience and situated meanings, this contribution presents an experimental educational project at a former industrial site in Finland. The on-site intervention has been developed by the Master of Architecture research and design studio ‘Transdisciplinary Encounter: Choreographing Architectural Values’ by combining philosophical reflections on the experience of place and situation with a practical perspective. Twenty-four students from the studio based at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) worked in a context that encompassed a former pulp factory and a manor house in Tampere, Finland. Engaging this urban site in the direct vicinity of forests and lakes, and foregrounding our bodies’ capacity to ‘make space’, the studio explored research and making methods derived from the field of dance and choreography, particularly focusing on the relationship between movement and ‘situatedness’.

Engaging Joseph Brodsky’s compelling novella Watermark (1992) — a wintertime account of Venice — this paper unpacks embodied experiences in a place of paramount cultural and historical heritage. The literary language captures the city’s emotional character — portraying how it affects our consciousness and subsequent behaviours — by describing affective atmospheres that emerge on the threshold of architecture and its embodied perception. The seasonal narration, moreover, allows for a unique glimpse into the city’s architectural heritage, which is most commonly appreciated by visitors and tourists during spring or summer. With architectural discourse nowadays embracing the importance of atmospheres and narratives for the understanding of place and culture, Watermark tangibly advocates for the city’s affective emotional power as a unique heritage to preserve. By doing so, it guides architects towards a design sensitivity open to the ephemerality of spatial moods. Distinct moments of encounter between the city’s urban design and water, Venice’s architecture and its humidity, as well as the place’s imposing materiality in the cold, provide an understanding of how a place of memory like Venice is produced and experienced.

A. Pérez-Gómez
In order to fully grasp the possibilities of Stimmung and its implementation nowadays, creating life-enhancing atmospheres responsive to human action, embodied emotional memories, and place in the fullest sense (as both natural and cultural context), a proper understanding of consciousness and perception beyond Cartesian misunderstandings is crucial. To this aim, insights drawn from neurophenomenology and enactive cognitive science prove indispensable. This paper discusses some of these insights.

A. Staničić, Andrea Jelić
In this interview article, we present a unique marriage of architecture heritage design and fundamental philosophy exemplified in the built works by Rietveld Architecture-Art-Affordances (RAAAF), a studio that works at the intersection of visual art, experimental architecture, and philosophy based in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. The conversation with Prix de Rome laureate Ronald Rietveld and Socrates Professor in Philosophy Erik Rietveld took place during the field visit to three RAAAF’s projects — Bunker 599 (2013), Deltawerk // (2018), and Still Life (2019) — where we examine the potential of affordance-based approach for rethinking and creating built heritage as (re)activation of past, present, and future.

This article proposes an atmospheric approach to heritage sites, one that speaks to how spatial, temporal, affective, imagined, and discursive qualities might come together in how they feel and become meaningful to the people who visit them. It proposes an agenda for architectural research on heritage sites that an orientation to atmospheres can open up, tracing the relevance of theories of atmospheres for understanding heritage, and pairing the concepts of attunement and attentionality to propose a methodology for atmospheric research. The paper argues that our individual inclinations are important in shaping how we respond to encounters with heritage sites, locating heritage as much in processes of sensory and affective meaning-making as in materiality, spatiality, or discourse. The paper’s arguments are discussed in relation to ethics, possibility, and futurity, and call for further architectural research that attends specifically to atmospheres.

The paper explores a number of sacred practices connected to the celebration of Saint George during the pilgrimage to the Greek-Orthodox Christian monastery of Saint George Koudounas on the island of Prinkipos (Büyükada, Istanbul). The aim is to study the embodied materialisation of memory in conflicting geopolitical landscapes. Before the population exchange of the 1920s and the further displacement of the Greek-Orthodox with the Istanbul pogroms of the 1950s and 1960s, the island was part of the multi-cultural environment of Istanbul, with Greek and Armenian minorities as protagonists in its life. After the twentieth century ‘unmixing’ of populations, this reality has drastically changed, with most of the Christian sacred spaces being destroyed, abandoned, desacralised, or re-sacralised. Yet, the pilgrimage to Saint George Koudounas is still considered one of the most significant religious events of Istanbul, with thousands of pilgrims participating in it. The paper suggests that pilgrimage as a historical and cultural construct allows a space for a performative negotiation of memories from the violent transformation of the country. Remembering and forgetting meet in the activation of practices (walking, weaving, and praying) and objects (small bells, threads, and candles) during the pilgrimage performed by both Muslims and Christians.

Trees are one of the significant elements in urban areas that engage different professions in the planning, planting, and maintenance processes (Nadel et al., 1977). Despite a range of benefits of street trees (Cihanger, 2013), they could be anchored with two important aspects of value in urban areas; firstly, the urban ecological system such as atmosphere, temperature, and humidity (Horte and Eisenman, 2020), and secondly, the users’ perception of meanings of the place based on lived experience such as beauty, shading, and sense of place (Moughtin and Shirley, 2006; Evans, 2007). However, it is a common observation that municipalities prefer to select wood trees because of low-cost maintenance such as the cost of the cleaning, pruning, and decorating of plants in urban areas (GreenBlue, 2020) grounded on some general guidelines of arboriculture (Nadel et al., 1977). This process is resulted in replacing old trees with a set of woods sapling to adapt the green spaces to be fit for the size of the streets and the height of buildings and electricity power lines (Harris and Dines, 1998; Chatzidimitriou and Yannas, 2017).
树木是城市地区的重要元素之一，在规划、种植和维护过程中涉及不同的专业(Nadel等人，1977)。尽管行道树有一系列的好处(Cihanger, 2013)，它们在城市地区可以锚定两个重要的价值方面;首先是城市生态系统，如大气、温度和湿度(Horte and Eisenman, 2020);其次是用户基于生活经验对场所意义的感知，如美感、遮阳和场所感(Moughtin and Shirley, 2006);埃文斯,2007)。然而，一个普遍的观察结果是，市政当局更喜欢选择木材树，因为维护成本低，例如城市地区植物的清洁、修剪和装饰成本(GreenBlue, 2020)，这是基于一些树木栽培的一般准则(Nadel等人，1977)。这一过程的结果是用一组树苗取代老树，使绿地适应街道的大小、建筑物的高度和电线(Harris和Dines, 1998;Chatzidimitriou and Yannas, 2017)。
