Beginnings/Order/Proportion
In Juhani Pallasmaa's essay "The Geometry of Feeling", he talks about "...the relationship between architectural form and how architecture is experienced." I think he is bringing up a great point of the neglect of the experintial quailty of architecture and how that is being so overlooked with the focus of our designs being so much about the exterior and form of buildings, instead of how we inhabit them. Do you agree with this, or is this just a point of progression for architecture and what it is moving towards?

I agree with Palasmaa's statement about the neglect of feeling and the experiential quality of spaces in architecture. I think the form of buildings becomes the focus and the exteriors come shortly after. But, it seems those aspects easily take a hold of a project, and what seems to be forgot is how the space will actually feel and be used.
