Poetics in Architecture interrogates architecture's engagement with the human psyche and personal perception. This work considers the human response to architecture, a theme inspired by Bachelards' Poetics of Space, that presents poetical and subjective experiences of enclosures, both natural and man-made, applying it to such entities as the nest, the corner, and the drawer. Schaik's concern is that modern day architecture is in danger of alientating the collective human connections we make with our constructed space. This volume offers a hitherto unexplored area of architecture that endeavours to firmly ground technological advances in design, within a human context. Contributors include Murphy Boyarsky, Tom Kovac and Sean Godsell.
