Experiential Design Schemas presents a new theoretical and practical framework for designing architectural experiences developed by two seasoned researchers, an architect, and a building scientist.The book delivers 45 experiential design schemas as generative design resources in a novel, multi-scalar networked language. Each schema is published as a modular four-page spread that explains the phenomena and potential feeling state, along with compelling precedents, supporting evidence and design guidelines. Their purpose is to help designers expand the delight, joy, serenity, and nature connections possible in buildings. The schema-based design guidance enables architects to choreograph positive experiences of dynamic and variable environmental conditions that connect people to Nature's rhythms.

Offers practical and theoretical tools for more effective sustainable design solutions and for communicating sustainable design ideas. This book uses Integral Theory to make sense of the many competing ideas in this area and offers a framework for sustainable designers through perspectives of: Behaviours, Systems, Experiences and Cultures.
