"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."

"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!"

"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."

"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."

"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."

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."

"I have wondered for years why architectural design has thought so little about the people who occupy its space and what they are trying to accomplish within that space. I have found myself redesigning spaces [...] for aesthetics and human performance optimization. These two aspects are really part of the same package.
[...] I am a human systems integrator who has worked mostly in the aerospace defense industry. This requires a lot of work space design and often habitation design (be it for a space stations, submarine, ship or aircraft). As a human engineer I do total systems design and this often requires extensive knowledge of the environment and architecture that you are trying to accommodate and integrate with or create.
Your website is the first I have come across that states this and is refreshing."

I stumbled upon your site just the other week and I must say I love it! I'm an architecture student [...] trying to find ways to learn not only in school but also from the "outside world", to broaden my mind. [...] In June I'm going to start with my thesis, so I really am grateful that I found your site. It's really really helpful and up to date. You are now one of my inspirations.

Maria Lehman,
I am so happy to have discovered your studies during my research late last night. I read it way into the night. I am a designer and a college educator specializing in teaching and designing for disabilities. This past year I have been developing and teaching a course that intertwines human factors with an evidence based design approach for special needs. Beauty, environmental concerns, creativity, function, and safety are all an integral part of the design solution. Your book reinforces so many of the principles in the class and also introduces many more ideas and thoughts. I really appreciated the information and will share the insights with my students.
I appreciated your book and your willingness to share your wonderful insights so much. It was very good and I thank you.

Hi
I would like to take the time out to say thanks for sending me new insight and information each time, I value your insight on sensing architecture, I also practice these principles within my design because I am sensitive to the energy each physical material has and how it impacts living things...I look at architecture and designing on a whole as metaphysical and physical...
Please keep sending the posts...thank you.

Dear Maria,
I have just finished reading your book 'Bringing Architecture to the Next Level'. I am utterly thrilled by the thoughts you have put forward and I think the book is an important contribution to the discipline of architecture.
In my work, I think a lot about cities and how the experience of urban life can be fulfilling and uplifting to all. Your book is helping me see new paths to that goal. Please accept my thanks both for the copy of the book mailed to me and the profound insights contained therein.
