Constructing Atmospheres is concerned with subjective perceptions and affections and the co-production of collective spatial realities. The book speculates upon the production of joy as a worthwhile and effective collective practice applied toward the refinement of shared spaces. The author suggests that atmospheres precede matter, including built environments. As a report on the artistic labour of bringing forth joyful affects, the book puts to the test SpinozaÕs fundamental conception of substance as a self-creating universal principle Ð philosophical theory is productively entangled with concrete spatial experimentation.
