Description

Where is the space for dreaming in the twenty-first century? Ceilings and Dreams: The Architecture of Levity explores how our overhead environments influence the way we think and dream. From the symbolic representations found in Renaissance paintings to the modern visual language of cartoons, ceilings serve as repositories for stories, events, and invisible narratives. As the world faces significant challenges, environments that inspire innovative thinking are becoming harder to find. Much of our modern decision-making and debate happens under standard ceiling grids, yet research suggests that the height of a space can impact cognitive processes. This book examines the connection between architectural design and the human mind, looking at how lofty thoughts are born and live overhead. It is an essential read for those interested in how the physical spaces we inhabit shape our ability to dream and innovate.
