We discussed today in class that some of us hated the idea that every building might fill the visitor with emotion. Thinking about it later and in reading the other blogs, I believe that emotion is critical to the sensory experience and comprehension of the building, but conversely when overwhelmed, we tend to become numb to our environments. "We live through sensory experience," and I think that emotion is how our brains process that information as a memory tool- our understanding of our environments in relation to us. Most all buildings give us the mundane 'numb' reaction where the few unique buildings we get to visit will revive our emotion. I think in architecture heightens our awareness and reactions. I think all buildings should create some stirring of emotion within us, but degree and appropriateness is what we can use to gauge value.
