Rotterdam-based architect Maurice Nio explores supra-sensitivity in architecture in this book, describing how animating matter means manipulating its frequency – a vibration that triggers another vibration. The result is an experience that will inevitably evoke an emotional response in any who are subjected to it.

Beyond the vagaries of taste and subjectivity, the pure and primary awareness of the space itself, lies the notion of the supra-sensitive. This is the realm where designers must strike a chord by evoking a chain reaction of animated materials. Becoming conscious of the supra-sensitive world is one thing; being willing to work with and influence it is another.
