Maria Lorena Lehman is featured in ESQUISSES magazine, where the article entitled “Une Conception du Bonheur” by Marie-Claude Morin, explores how receptive architects are to findings in the environmental psychology and cognitive science fields. This article is originally written in French, as this is the official magazine for the Quebec Architect’s Association of Canada. The following is a brief excerpt translated from the original French version: Read more

I do hope that you had a great holiday season — and an even greater start to our first month in 2011. I know that 2010 was a good year for Sensing Architecture and that will hopefully mean even more good things for our year ahead in 2011.

Because of a lot of the work that I was able to do both on the Sensing Architecture website as well as multiple other projects I was working on behind the scenes last year, I do expect that within this upcoming year you will be using some great improvements here on Sensing Architecture. Thus, I have compiled a list of some of the key additional features which you should expect to see on this site during 2011. In fact, some of them are already live and running in an effort to make your Sensing Architecture experience even better:

So without further ado, here are ten exciting new features that will go live on Sensing Architecture during this upcoming year… Read more

Thank You, Readers — for the Exponential Growth

After one full year of blogging, I would like to extend appreciation to my readers, for all of the support that you have shown through your comments and e-mails in 2009.

It is very encouraging to know that so many of you truly care about the advancement of architecture — all in efforts to make architectural design even better. For this reason, it is a pleasure to share with you my findings, thoughts and theories, here on my site.

Shortly after its inception, Sensing Architecture’s readership started to grow at exponential rates — and I would like to thank each and every one of you for helping to make that happen. (These growth rates are still compounding today, so I project 2010 will be a fantastic year of growth for Sensing Architecture as well.)

For those that take the time and effort to participate in Sensing Architecture discussions by sharing your insights, questions and observations — thanks for helping to make Sensing Architecture an even richer site. After all, it is through dialogue that we can spread good ideas, and then make them even better.

Here’s to a wonderful 2010!

2009 Has Been an Amazing Year

Sensing Architecture has had quite an amazing year in 2009. Really, this website was brand-new at the beginning of the year, in January. Ever since then, it has been rapidly growing and now its readership is exponentially compounding. Projected to reach approximately 20,000 visitors this month, it is safe to say that 2010 will hold great things in store for the Sensing Architecture community.

Readers range from architecture professionals, to architectural scholars to design enthusiasts. I continuously receive a wide range of reader insightful comments, questions, “thank-you” letters and e-mails asking for architectural design advice and reviews.

I am certainly encouraged by such a pro-active reader response!

Plus, I love working with all of you.

2010 Will Be Full of Nice Surprises

Already, there are a variety of plans in the works for Sensing Architecture in 2010.

For starters, I will be launching a free Report entitled Bringing Architecture to the Next Level. To make certain that you receive this, be sure to sign up for my free Sensing Architecture newsletter — you can sign-up using the simple form here. All newsletter members will be first to receive this free Report in late January of 2010.

For later in the year, I plan to introduce new content in varying media formats — which I think will be a rich addition to the site…particularly for those that like to learn in different ways.

Another goal on my 2010 plan is to add more community enhancements to increase member interactivity and lateral learning. This will be a very desirable addition as our community continues its rapid growth and healthy response rates.

There are, of course, more 2010 ideas brewing on my drawing board at the moment. Those, I will share with you in the future. But for now, I can tell you this…

This is only the beginning.
