As it is mentioned earlier, Rasmussen believes on the whole, art and fields of art shouldn’t explain, they must be experienced. Second point is, the New Empiricism movement contain all book. Without any doubt, the text is very understandable for all in terms of context and contend.Rasmussen says ‘ ’Architecture is produced by ordinary people, for ordinary people therefore it should be easily comprehensible to all.’’ The book was written for everyone without any exceptions because even a child can understand. The first point is while you are reading, you can easily sense that everybody can understand the topic whether he/she is an architect or not. Many people have spotted that there is a difference between physical theory and the reality of experience but it would be nice to see more people adapting physical theory to remove the difference.Īs a brief expression of Experiencing Architecture, the chapter of ‘’Basic Observations’’ can be good example and summary of whole book with its good examples. Physics in three dimensions will not be adequate for a description of a projective space such as our experience. Our conscious experience is a projective geometrical space and projective geometry was developed to describe it so that artists could produce a convincing appearance for their pictures. If you find yourself bridling at the novelty of this approach and feel it should be dismissed try “Perceiving perception” and “Materialists should read this first” which provide arguments about why you might believe your own experience. A good starting point is the “Introduction to New Empiricism” and “Time and conscious experience” treats the subject in more depth.


New Empiricism addresses the simple observations and questions of everyday life.
