Emotional Side of Places

by Ela Dokonal, AICP, LEED AP on 2011/03/20

The art of creating places requires the sensibility to recognize emotional effects of existing places. What is it that excites or comforts, attracts, and what is it that makes us walk  away; what exactly creates these bookmarks in our memories?

The thing is, like in cooking, there is no one magical component. The success of a memorable meal lies in the mix and synergy of all ingredients, and the meal’s ability to excite our senses and emotions.  Surprises are as important as the harmony, and the art is in making them sing together.
