I find it disappointing that there wasn't a single mention of a leather wing-backed chair, or "sitting cushions", or incense.
Also, interesting that the author thinks architecture has always been about aesthetics, not psychology. Do you think the Greek & Roman temples were only about aesthetics? I think their largesse was definitely designed to take your mind somewhere else; to make you think of the heavens; to expand your mind. Same for the great cathedrals of europe.
