Abstract

The concept of atmosphere in present architectural theory has many points of convergence with the insights of 20th‐century Surrealism. Alberto Pérez‐Gómez – Saidye Rosner Bronfman Professor of the History of Architecture at McGill University in Montreal – here examines themes including desire, poetics, musical affinities and the risks of stylistic imitation, with reference to writers from André Breton to Octavio Paz and from Edmund Husserl to Maurice Merleau‐Ponty.
