The Feeling of Space

A richly illustrated exploration of humanity's drive to shape life as a spatial project, from Plato's time to the digital era. Place is something real, but space is generally conceived as abstract and immaterial. In Expertly connecting ideas with clear examples from lived experiences, Bardt's revolutionary framework will appeal to a broad readership, particularly those who are interested in the theoretical and philosophical aspects of spaces. In an age where digital media has dissolved, instead of increased, our sense of connection, <The Feeling of Space <shows that when we learn to experience space as a medium as real as a place, we not only see ourselves as inherently spatialized beings, but we can also rebuild the bonds that tie us together.
