After the Congresses in Grenoble (Creating an Atmosphere, 2008), Montreal (Ambiances in Action, 2012), Volos (Ambiances, Tomorrow: The Future of Ambiances, 2016), and the online 4th edition (Ambiances, Alloaesthesia: Senses, Inventions, Worlds, 2020), this 5th edition explores the sensory aspects of ambiances in a changing world.
In its fifth quadrennial congress, the objective is to outline the state of new conceptual, methodological, and practical issues in relation to architectural and urban ambiances. The focus will be open to the contemporary themes of our scientific community, but it also also wishes to welcome and work on new sensory exploration in a world in constant transformation.
The aim is to examine how contemporary environmental, social, technological, political, and ethical changes can interact with sensitive worlds, their environments, bodies, senses, and the ways in which people experience them. The Congress on Ambiances aims to foster a "barn of discussions" on experiences, based on themes that highlight sensitivity and the cultural landscape, urban and micro-urban politics, local arts and interventions, the body and the senses, design strategies, adaptation processes, among others.
The 5th International Congress on Ambiances is organized into thematic sessions, presentations and lectures, exploring current concerns, debates, theories, policy issues and cultural practices in this vast and fascinating area.
