GESTO-An empirical process to assess meaning in a piece of architecture

Completed
About

The correct interpretation of a work of architecture – the assessment of its meaning – is fundamental when we face the necessity of intervening on it. The project we present here proposes an empirical test to the hypothesis of «gesture»: the existence of a global coherence of the visual and walking trajectory made as we explore a building [1][2].
