Résumé:

"The history of odors and their spaces is a tale of air and humidity, of solid and laminated wood, of the past and the near future, the repulsion and attraction of real bodies, the anosmia of virtual locales, anxieties, fears, ecstasy, and memory. The places of death, sex, food, industry, sickness, divinity, nature, and the incorporeal all have their own odors. Odors are associated with the day-to-day every bit as much as they are with the extraordinary, with the immanent as much as with the evanescent." "The design of invisible olfactory architectures is not the exclusive purview of perfumers; it is also the territory of designers, anthropologists, sociologists, and psychologists ... and of common mortals who spend their days immersed in increasingly invasive and captivating odors." "The book explores the dense interweave between the sense of smell and architecture, and is enriched by the contributions of designers and perfumers exchanging thoughts and ideas on a host of related themes."--Jacket.
