A baroque church in a market as a case study JF - Scenari JA - scenari VL - 1 IS - 12 SE - Estetica e Architettura DO - 10.7413/24208914057 UR - https://mimesisjournals.com/ojs/index.php/scenari/article/view/958 AB - Although architecture has often granted a key role to the geometry-based Cartesian space and to the visual paradigm, the aesthetics of atmosphere – understood as an enquiry into the relationship between environmental expressive qualities and subjectively registered conditions – is able to provide further theoretical perspectives. The paper highlights that the aesthetics of atmospheres, taking into account all the senses, should be considered as a valid interpretative tool to integrate the traditional point of view of the history of architecture. To demonstrate this, the paper will focus on a case study: the baroque church of Immacolata Concezione al Capo, set in one of the historical markets of Palermo. ER -
