Quote of Note | Barry Blesser and Linda-Ruth Salter

“To communicate the artistic, social, emotional, and historical context of a space…architects almost exclusively consider the visual aspects of a structure. Only rarely do they consider the acoustic aspects. The native ability of human beings to sense space by listening is rarely recognized; indeed, some people think such an ability is unique to bats and dolphins. But sensing spatial attributes does not require special skills–all human beings do it: a rudimentary spatial ability is a hardwired part of our genetic inheritance.
