Testimonials

I would like to thank each and every one of you that visits Sensing Architecture and takes the time to personally thank me for my work on this website. The following are testimonials that you, my readers, have written about Sensing Architecture — Your kind words inspire me and keep me updating the website every chance I get.

"Maria: I came across your website through a reference in today's Architect Weekly ezine and am delighted I did. I'll bookmark your site and check back often. I read the first article and then the second and thirty minutes later realized how much time had passed.

I've been practicing for thirty years and have always missed the stimulation of academia. I find each of your brief dissertations sort of like a day in design studio.

Thanks for the inspiration."

"I’ve been following your blog for quite some time now and I’m a big fan and love everything you post. It’s just soooo interesting and you talk about issues no one ever told me about during my university years, and for that i’m truly grateful.

Discovering your blog was like discovering a whole new way of approaching architecture, and definitely a new path in my designing. Thank you Maria!!"

Your posts give me that poetic feeling and are so insightful ---they always make me question my way of designing. Thank you for a wonderful blog!

I have many times read your articles in Sensing Architecture and the work is highly commendable. It gives another dimension to the thought process of the designer and [...] could really help the designer fraternity."

"Hi Maria,

I have been reading your newsletter and visiting your website for a few months and I really enjoy the topics.  I have always felt that architecture needs to take the next step into the human subconscious.

I downloaded your book and look forward to reading it. Thanks for your efforts."

"While I've been actively engaged in the development and construction of the build environment since college, my Architectural spirit has become somewhat dormant. The energy and excitement I once felt in school, is alive and well at Sensing Architecture!

You've ignited a spark again, and put into words what it means to experience the built environment and how it can truly touch your soul. A successful moment in Architecture is poetry and an energy that livens the spirit. Thanks, I had somehow forgotten that. What a great site!"

Nicole
"Dear Maria,

By chance i came across your website and just can't say enough about how wonderful it is. I have a Bachelor's degree in Architecture and have always been interested in psychology but unfortunately the university I attended did not offer any courses, and the way we were taught rarely was there mention of how psychology is a backbone in design.

[...] when I found this site, [Sensing Architecture], I was so excited. [...] You have been a great inspiration to me."

Rihab Shouna

"I am excited to see you touch a vein of values architecture, I have been chasing myself for years. Your depth of involvement in these very deep subjects is really beautiful and passionately dealt with and well written. Sound, color and value, shape, texture, scale, smell.... all definitive measures of the spaces we should be alert to.

[...] I will savor the rest of your investigation of sensuality in architecture.

I'm Glad I found you."

Dennis McLaughlin

"First of all, I would like to thank you for such an inspiring website. I am an architect and [have] started my masters on interior design. I came across [your] article while researching [...] my thesis. And you inspired me a lot. I developed my subject around [your] ‘Can architecture Expand Human Senses’ article which is absolutely great.

[...] Many many thanks for this great website with such interesting articles. As a student I must say, it is more than educational."

Ozgur Molla
I receive your Sensing Architecture news updates via email. Just wanted to drop you a note and thank you for putting together the Sensing Architecture website. Specifically, the pieces on architecture, nanotechnology and augemented reality, I enjoy those. I also liked the nanomaterials and new sensations story as well. [...] Thanks again, and keep up the good work.

Dear Maria Lorena Lehman,

First of all, I would like to thank you for sharing all of your thoughts through your website and in the e-book 'Bringing Architecture Next Level'. I was very fascinated and somehow you open my eyes to the things that happen right before my eyes that I didn't notice. [...] I am actually planning to do my final year thesis based on the issues that I have gathered from your writings. Once again, thank you for the knowledge that you have passed around.
