This conference ambitions to call on a dialogue between outstanding experts in some neighboring fields that are relevant to get a better knowledge and use of architectural and spatial atmospheres, both in material and digital realms.
This conference aims to initiate a dialogue between outstanding experts coming from fields that are relevant to gaining a better understanding, use, and creation of architectural, medial, technological, and natural atmospheres. In our understanding, this goal needs collaboration between  different fields: those of the philosophies of embodiment and spatial experience, architectural humanities and environmental psychology, neuroscience and architectural practice. To this end, the conference invites researchers, practitioners, and doctoral students from the relevant fields
who are ready to contribute to the emergent discourse on atmospheres and design.
 
Recognizing the significance of these interweavings, we deemed it appropriate and essential to involve four distinguished keynote speakers who may stimulate a fruitful dialogue between neighboring but different fields connected to the broad themes of embodiment, spatiality, and atmospheres. Each of them represents one of these crucial demarcations and the subsequent developments: Steven Holl, one of the world's leading architects and a hero for generations of practitioners seeking a more humanistic and meaningful built environment; Richard Shusterman, the American pragmatist philosopher and initiator of somaesthetics; Vittorio Gallese, the Italian neuroscientist who took a leading role in discovering mirror neurons; Sarah Robinson, one of the most lucid and orienting voices in present-day architectural humanities and Tonino Griffero, full Professor of Aesthetics (University of Rome Tor Vergata), editor of book series (Sensi­bilia, Atmospheric Spaces) and the e-journal Lebenswelt.
