Abstract
AUTHOR-SUPPLIED ABSTRACT: Abstract This study aims to understand how the interaction between the interior spaces, the body, and the emotions occur within the theory and professional practice, taking as a theoretical basis the phenomenology studies applied to interior design through authors such as Maurice Merleau- -Ponty, Martin Heidegger, Gernot Böhme, Norberg Schulz, Juhani Pallasma and Peter Zumthor. For these authors, the experience of space occurs from the body consciousness that arises in the relationship between the body and the physical world, that is, in the relationship that is es- tablished with the tectonics of the place, the materials used, the typology of buildings, the local population beyond the psychic apprehension generated from the atmospheres. The atmosphe- res, a concept defined firstly by Gernot Böhme, are the union between this corporal consciou- sness in the space and the emotional apprehension and are generally used as synonymous with mood, feeling, ambiance, or tone. The discipline of interior design is marked by its "atmospheric turn," a term that refers to the paradigmatic shift in professional practice and theoretical debates in recent decades. From then on, the premise is to design interior spaces that go far beyond the embellishment of the spatial image, creating perceptual bridges between users, space, materiality, and emotions to amplify and strengthen the human experience. In this sense, this study is dedicated to analyzing two interior design projects that stand out by the relevance of their atmospheres. A methodological structure was created to guide the analysis and develop elements that can improve the unders- tanding of the meaning and importance of atmospheres in interior design.
