Dialogues between Psychoanalysis and Architecture
Author: Christina Moutsou
language: en
Publisher: Taylor & Francis
Release Date: 2023-11-28
Dialogues between Psychoanalysis and Architecture explores the multisensory space of therapy, real or virtual, and how important it is in providing the container for the therapeutic relationship and process. This book is highly original in bringing psychoanalysis and architecture together and highlighting how both disciplines strive to achieve transformation of our psychic space. It brings together contributions that comprise three parts: the first explores the space of the consulting room through the senses to examine issues such as smell and its link with memory and belonging, hearing out the Other, the psychoanalytic couch, the medical therapy room and the so-called sixth sense; secondly, the book questions how the consulting room can represent or be redesigned to reflect the philosophy that underlies the therapy process, foregrounding an architectural point of view; and thirdly, the book attends to the significance of the consulting room as a virtual space, as it emerged during the pandemic of COVID-19 and beyond. Architectural, psychotherapeutic and interdisciplinary perspectives allow for an important new dimension on the psychological use of space, and will appeal to psychoanalysts, psychoanalytic and integrative psychotherapists, art therapists, students of psychotherapy, as well as architects and designers.
Ten dialogues between architects and philosophers
Author: Mike Liu
language: en
Publisher: Mike's Strategic Communications
Release Date: 2025-05-16
About the Book In these ten imagined conversations, architecture meets philosophy—through memory, desire, identity, silence, and form. Spanning centuries and ideas, Ten Dialogues invites readers to explore the unseen structure of thought and the emotional resonance of space. Is architecture a projection of the unconscious? Can buildings carry meaning beyond utility? What does it mean to dwell—physically, emotionally, philosophically? This is not a textbook. It is a reflective offering.
Lacan + Architecture
Author: John Shannon Hendrix
language: en
Publisher: Springer Nature
Release Date: 2024-11-14
This book seeks to revise and revive architectural theory through psychoanalysis as well as to apply psychoanalytic theory to architecture. Its authors argue for Lacan’s central importance for a comprehensive theory of building and suggest how architectural theory might offer new resources for psychoanalytic theorists. They address both the perceived crisis in the contemporary state of architecture and architectural theory and crises in society at large, including political and economic fracture and instability and threats to mental health and well-being. It offers fresh insights to architects, architectural educators and practitioners, scholars of psychoanalysis, and anyone interested in the human condition in relation to the built environment. This book is shortlisted for the 2025 Architectural Theory Book and Book of the Year Awards.
