In <em>Attunement</em>, Alberto Pérez-Gómez calls for an architecture that can enhance our human values and capacities, an architecture that is connectedattunedto its location and its inhabitants. Architecture, Pérez-Gómez explains, operates as a communicative setting for societies; its beauty and its meaning lie in its connection to human health and self-understanding.</p><p>Our physical places are of utmost importance for our well-being. Drawing on recent work in embodied cognition, Pérez-Gómez argues that the environment, including the built environment, matters not only as a material ecology but because it is nothing less than a constituent part of our consciousness.
