Designing in three dimensions is not enough anymore!From years of professional experience in multiple cities in Europe I learned that no matter where you are, architecture is mainly described by its visual qualities, therefore also judged by its look, like a book judged by its cover.On the other hand we all know that the built environment has so much to do with human perception and experience, it affects both human and nature behaviour resulting in worsening or improving well being. Sounds like a pretty big deal doesn't it? The impact is self-evident, yet there is still insufficient focus on this area within the current architectural discourse and practice.So here I am hoping to discover with you the 4th dimension of architecture -in other words -all the aspects that architects should consider in their designs, but often don’t. I created the podcast 4D talks as a series of brainstorm sessions with experts who perceive architecture beyond the three dimensions. In each episode we discuss how for example, water, light, senses or feminism can be used as a design tool in architecture and how much it affects the users of the space.The goal of this series is to expand the perception of architecture and design, to shift the focus from what we see to how we feel in the built environment and last but not least - to share our thoughts and learn from each other. As a long term plan I hope to provide a collection of tools for architects to look outside of their 3-dimensional boxes and facilitate multidisciplinary collaborations that bring proven physical, economic and social well being to everyone.
