Exploring diverse conceptual possibilities - from Plato’s matter, to Bourriaud’s relational aesthetics and Böhme’s atmospheres - and through beautifully-considered studies of architectures and artworks, from 18th century country houses in Norfolk to contemporary installations in Mexico - these contributions are a rich and important resource for designers and scholars asking what material can bring to the \u003ci\u003eexperience \u003c\/i\u003eof architecture today.’ – \u003cb\u003eKatie Lloyd Thomas, Senior Lecturer and Co-Director of Architecture Research Collaboration, Newcastle University, UK\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eList of Illustrations.
