When Building Speak: How Architecture Shapes theWay We Live, Feel, andConnect

Join architect and author Sarah Robinson for a compelling exploration of how the built world affects our wellbeing and our connections to one another. Inspired by her new book, The Architecture of Resonance (Routledge), Robinson reveals how architecture “acts”—guiding our

movements, moods, and interactions in ways we often overlook. From the physics of resonance to the poetry of

everyday life, she makes a powerful case for designing environments that support healthier, more meaningful and

more sustainable ways of living.
