Aesthetic Atmospheres

Atmospheres are present everywhere – from a comfortable living room to a grand architectural landmark. However, how they profoundly influence our emotional experiences over time remains poorly understood. In this conference, our speakers will explore this question and other important issues related to the complex phenomenon of atmosphere.
